🌍 World AMR Awareness Week | 18–24 November
Theme: Act Now – Protect Our Present, Secure Our Future

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the biggest threats to global health today. When bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites become resistant to medicines, infections become harder to treat - putting lives, food security, and the environment at risk.

This week, we’re joining the global call to action. Everyone has a role to play - from healthcare professionals to farmers, veterinarians, and local communities. Together, we can protect the medicines that protect us all.

Do:

✅Only take antibiotics prescribed for you

✅Ask if your prescribed antibiotics are the preferred first-line treatment

✅Prevent infections by washing your hands and keeping up to date with vaccinations

✅Complete the full course if prescribed

Don’t:

❌ Use antibiotics for colds or flu - they don’t treat viruses

❌ Share your antibiotics with others

❌ Save leftover antibiotics for later

Mounjaro Update💉

In line with current guidance, a phased approach to weight management medication will rollout within primary care settings and initially Tirzepatide ( Mounjaro ) will only be available on the NHS to those with the highest clinical need.

This would include problems listed ( dyslipidaemia, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnoea, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus ) AND a BMI of 40 or more will be eligible to access Tirzepatide ( Mounjaro ) through primary care settings.

There are plans to lower this eventually but for the time being, if you do not fit into this criteria then you will not be eligible for this.

Thankyou.
