🌐 It’s the end of the World Health Organizations (WHO) Antibiotic Awareness Week - Antibiotics are not the answer to fight viruses such as cold and flu.

💊 Here are the top Antibiotic rules you should follow:

1. Don't take antibiotics for colds and flu - they won't help because these illnesses are caused by viruses, not bacteria

2. Never save antibiotics for later use - they may not work properly and could make the problem worse

3. When prescribed antibiotics, take them exactly as directed by your GP, nurse or pharmacist

⭐️ Encouraging you to Get Well Soon – without antibiotics

🔗 Below are two useful links to find out more:

🎉 Today is Carers Rights Day 2025 🎉

Today we aim to increase awareness of the 5.8 million unpaid carers across the UK who support ill, elderly, or disabled family members or friends. Unpaid carers often face challenges whilst balancing caregiving with work and can struggle with financial, mental and physical health burdens.

Are you an unpaid carer?
North Tyneside Carers' Centre offer support and advice for those caring for a loved one whilst balancing this with work or education. They also offer groups for carers to have the opportunity to take time away from their caring role and get to know like-minded people.

Carers are the backbone of our communities- balancing work, family, and care with compassion and resilience. On Carers Rights Day 2025 (Thursday 20th November), we're proud to support North Tyneside Carers' Centre in raising awareness of carers' rights and the support available locally.

Not sure where to start? One small step like talking to someone at North Tyneside Carers Centre can make a big difference. Find out what you're entitled to and get support tailored to you. You can also find out about local events they offer too.

Other agencies are available for support too, such as Citizens Advice and online support at www.carersuk.org

[Visual Description: a purple background with a statement in bold print, 'Where can you find out about your rights', followed by 4 images, each with a single person, one on a phone, one on a laptop, one with question marks overhead and one holding a hand over their heart.

We are proud to support Carer's Rights Day next week, Thursday 20th November 2025, alongside North Tyneside Carers' Centre.
Together, we're helping to raise awareness of carers' rights and making sure every carer knows where to find support.

Every day, unpaid carers make an incredible difference, yet many don't realise the rights and support available to them. Whether you're new to caring or have been supporting someone for years, it's important to know what you're entitled to.

Find out more and get support from North Tyneside Carer's Centre: www.northtynesidecarers.org.uk
