Here's me with my poster and repping @MovemberUK and some of the lovely Christmas lights by the docks #Liverpool@myttAMS@MidYorkshireNHS
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
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@myttAMS@MidYorkshireNHS@myttacd
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 πππ¬@myttAMS
You can help tackle antibiotic resistance.
Target your treatment options by always seeking medical advice from a health professional before taking antibiotics.

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
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
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 β‘ 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.
