It's Day 2 of World AMR Awareness Week.... sector of the day is Dental Care. Antibiotics don’t cure toothache. Toothache is often caused by decay which may lead to infection. Seek dental professional advice & adopt self care such as hydration, rest and pain relief. #WAAW2024

[Tayside Antimicrobial Team @TaysideAMT]

Non-medical prescribers across all NHS Tayside care sectors prescribe antimicrobials & there is fantastic engagement with stewardship by this group of staff. We are delighted @NHSTayside NMP policy includes a stewardship section & promotes audit & education & 5Rights⬇️🥰#WAAW2024

As a pharmacist that works in HIV & COVID, thought I’d share some work I’ve been doing preparing for Paxlovid! Looked at all our eligible patients on Covid OP pathway for the first 3 weeks and if we could have safely given them Paxlovid. 👇🧵 @FionaMarra @covidDDIs @UKCPAPIN

Important work @SamiraBell76 showing lower vaccine effectiveness in people with severe renal failure.

While everyone talks about "living with Covid", thanks to vaccines, spare a thought for vulnerable patients who don't yet have the same protection.

It's MDT Tuesday of World Antibiotic Awareness Week. Everyone can be an antimicrobial steward. Everyone involved in prescribing, dispensing and administering antimicrobials has a part to play to reduce antimicrobial resistance. Think about IVOST https://t.co/Vq2uXKDELM #WAAW

[Tayside Antimicrobial Team @TaysideAMT]

Happy Monday folks! It's still World Antibiotic Awareness Week. Remember every infection prevented is an antimicrobial course avoided 👏👏
