Did you know that overuse of antibiotics causes antimicrobial resistance, otherwise known as (AMR)? This isn’t just for humans – it can affect farming too!

AMR can spread to everyone through the food we eat (meat and crops) – AMR can spread into the environment, soil and our water ways.

Let’s by:

Not throwing tablets in the bin!
Not flushing or pouring tablets down the loo or sinks!

Please dispose sensibly at your local pharmacy

Today is Carers Rights Day, which is the national campaign led by Carers UK with the theme of 'know your rights, use your rights'.

If you are a carer in Warwickshire it is important to know what support and benefits you are entitled to and to feel confident asking for what you need.

This also includes feeling empowered enough to challenge when your rights as a carer are not being met, whether that is in the workplace, education, accessing health or social care, or when interacting with other professionals or at home.
