Brilliant article that really resonated when reflecting on this year!

“Where do we go from here?..An overhaul on the way antimicrobial stewardship is perceived is essential if we want to have a sustainable, engaged, and fulfilled stewardship workforce.”

This #WorldAIDSDay, please watch our anti-stigma TV advert made in partnership with @scotgov.

Tackling stigma must be a priority – everyone needs to play their part by shouting about the progress we've made. Because we will never end the HIV epidemic without ending stigma.

Switching intravenous to oral administration can help to reduce the carbon footprint of clinical care, and has clinical and cost benefits.

This article offers pointers on how to safely switch #SustainablePractice @minna_eii @sarahcwalpole @cvaldridge

Over one million people a year die as a result of antimicrobial resistance.
The Fleming Centre will drive a global movement to tackle it.

Proud to become Patron of the appeal to create this vital centre, which will educate, inspire and catalyse action to solve this problem.

Give the gift of time to a nurse on #InternationalNursesDay by switching a prescription from IV to oral antibiotics. You'll release 20 minutes of their time for each dose switched. Imagine what nurses could do with all those extra 20 minutes?

Our #RegionalInfectiousDiseasesUnit has just been reflecting on #WorldTBDay2023 🌍 What matters to our patients living with TB, what matters to our team caring for patients with TB & our role in #AntibioticStewardship With cake ofc! #YesWeCanEndTB #WMTM @kirstie_weeks @MrsHMR83

People aren’t dying because NHS staff are striking.

NHS staff are striking because people are dying.

Please RT if you get that.

@covidDDIs This is great! Just what we need @rajs17

[Kieran Hand PhD @DrKieranHand]

A willingness to share their experience and to communicate lessons learned will undoubtedly lead to benefits to patients and the NHS that extend well beyond the boundaries of Greater Manchester. Keep up the great work MFT! Inspirational!

[Kathryn Ashton @KatMAshton]

Well done to all the AMS Pharmacy Team for their hard work pulling our WAAW campaign together! Fortunate to welcome some very special helpers today to spread the #AntibioticAwarenessWeek message at MFT! @DrKieranHand @DrDianeAshiru @davidwebb_1 @GillianDamant @MFT_Pharmacy

@SuksRodh @MFT_MRI @NorthMcrGH_NHS @MFT_Pharmacy Good luck Suky!! Welcome to the Infection Team! You’ll have such a fab time joining ID and going home to North 🥰

Never give your medication to someone else and never give them your antibiotics. Antibiotic resistance is a global problem - only ever take antibiotics that are prescribed for you. @MFT_Chief_Pharm @MFTnhs

[Kathryn Ashton @KatMAshton]

Great day learning, planning and networking with colleagues from the North West to tackle the challenge of reducing C.diff infections across the region…bit worried about what’s in the lunch bags though! #NHSNWImproveCDI #nhsnwamr @antibioticangel @NWAPG
