We couldn't wait!🎉We're kicking off #WAAW2025 a day early because the fight against #AMR can't wait.

[Pharmacy Infection @LTHTAntibiotics]

The first lunchtime teaching session, presented by Dr Jessica Martin & Charlie Lobley from @IpcLtht, focused on moving from #HCAI Root Cause Analysis to the new real-time PSIRF (Patient Safety Incident Response Framework).

[Pharmacy Infection @LTHTAntibiotics]

Today's theme has been 'Prevention' - the fight against #AMR isn't all about prescribing! We've been promoting being 'Hands Ready' in clinical areas, keeping up to date with vaccinations, and following #IPC guidance to reduce the spread of infections.

There was a #WAAW2025 Bake Sale in the PIT office today, and thanks to some keen bakers and buyers we raised £118.30 for AMR Action UK (formerly known as @1Antruk). Check out their website to learn more about this vital charity: https://t.co/RVCFRhHseK

Our #WAAW2025 stand in the Gledhow building had plenty of visitors, manned by the Pharmacy Infection Team and our keen trainee pharmacists. Thanks to everyone who came to learn more! We'll be at LGI tomorrow & Chapel Allerton Hospital on Thursday - hope to see you all there!

Great to hear @DrSuzHill discuss her role as embedded pharmacist researcher at the @LTHTResearch conference. I get to live the benefits of having Suzanne in our team who has been key to developing a stronger research culture.

Powerful start to the #LTHTInfectionSummit2025! Dr Magnus Harrison, CMO @LeedsHospitals, urged us to be outstanding for our patients and communities, with #AMR being a key part of that mission.

This feels a good moment to signpost patients and their families living with #AMR to @1Antruk who offer support and advice to people who have antibiotic-resistant infections, as well as their loved ones.
