My friends say I just give paracetamol out .
Across all sectors the role is so varied and provides for so many. Yes a sprinkle of paracetamol is needed, but we are medicine experts and I'm in a fantastic speciality where I use this knowledge everyday #WorldPharmacistsDay

Penicillin allergy?

Speak to a healthcare professional.

Infections can get harder to treat if you have a false Penicillin allergy label.

Meet Tommaso, our AMU pharmacist, training to help challenge and de-label penicillin allergies.
Penicillin allergies = longer hospital stay, worse outcomes, and increased cost. 6% report an allergy, but >90% of these are not allergic #WAAW2023

Antimicrobial resistance is an issue we are dealing with right now.
My gradient and splits on run to work this morning. It reminded me of PK/PD graphs, dashed line is the MIC, then this antibiotic (gradients) is not much use. Anyone else always thinking antibiotics 💉💊🔬@myttAMS

[MY AMS @myttAMS]

You can help tackle antibiotic resistance.

Target your treatment options by always seeking medical advice from a health professional before taking antibiotics.

[MY AMS @myttAMS]

Taking antibiotics for wrong reasons, such as against colds or flu, has no benefit for you.

Always seek advice from a health professional before taking antibiotics.

@AlldredAndrew has made his #AntibioticGuardian pledge this morning, have you made yours? #WAAW #WAAW23

[Joseph Spencer @MYPharmaJoe]

Out reviewing patients on day 1 of world antimicrobial awareness week 23. Great to see so many different professionals making pledges to help protect antibiotics @MidYorkshireNHS @AauPgh @myttAMS #WAAW23

Stay hydrated – be healthy and prevent infections.

Watch @WYpartnership video as a reminder of why staying hydrated is important in avoiding infections and preventing unnecessary antibiotics.

Timed the return to work perfectly. Today is World Sepsis Day. Someone dies from sepsis every 3.5 seconds.
Ensuring appropriate escalation and using Sepsis 6 helps to save lives.@myttAMS @mytt_dart

[Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust @MidYorkshireNHS]

Make sure that you or people you care for have enough medication to last through #BankHoliday weekend and order any repeat prescriptions in plenty of time.

You can order prescriptions through the NHS app ➡ https://t.co/gazOlj3T1Z

Don't be the Joker and flush antibiotics down the toilet, return them to your local pharmacy.
Why are we so serious about this? Antibiotics in waste water systems can drive the evolution of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
