On the fifth day of Christmas, your NHS gave to thee...
🎁 Fiiiiiive pharmacists 🎁

Our pharmacy teams will be busy over the festive period ensuring staff and patients are equipped with essential medicines, helping patients recover sooner and get home to their loved ones 🎄

Antimicrobials matter! Antimicrobials – including antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals & antiparasitics – save millions of lives.

Using antimicrobials only when necessary and prescribed by a health care professional is our best defense against #AntimicrobialResistance!
