🌍 World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (18–24 November) 🌍
“Preventing Antimicrobial Resistance Together”
This week, we’re joining the World Health Organization (WHO) in raising awareness about antimicrobial resistance - one of the biggest global health challenges of our time.
💊 What is AMR?
Antimicrobial resistance happens when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines. This makes infections harder to treat and increases the risk of severe illness.
🏥 How you can help:
✔️ Only use antibiotics when they are prescribed for you
✔️ Never share or save leftover antibiotics
✔️ Follow your prescription exactly as advised
✔️ Keep up to date with vaccinations
✔️ Practice good hygiene to reduce infections
At our surgery, we’re committed to responsible antibiotic prescribing to help protect these vital medicines for the future.
Together, we can help preserve the power of antibiotics and keep our community safe.
