Pharmacists are medical experts who can offer advice as well as medication.

They can also supply some prescription medicines for certain conditions.

Help keep antibiotics working for us all by making sure you take these medicines as your doctor and pharmacist has explained you should.

Prescribers at your GP practice use tests to diagnose infections.

This helps them decide which antibiotics to prescribe.
Local north east London GP, Dr Maeve Heaney, explains how these tests help keep antibiotics working.

Are you allergic to penicillin?

Many people think they are, and have this on their medical notes, but they are not truly allergic.
Our Chief Medical Officer explains why it is important to know for sure and the risk to antibiotic resistance.

Lets keep antibiotics working.

Good hand hygiene prevents the spread of infection.
Fewer infections means we can reduce how often antibiotics are prescribed. This helps keep antibiotics as effective as possible.

Prescribed antibiotics?

It’s important to finish the course and not to throw any away with your household waste.
Pharmacist, Bobby Sandhu explains how this affects our environment and leads to people becoming resistant to antibiotics.

[Yellow Card Centre North West @yellowcardnw]

Not all medicines will be suitable for everyone. Make sure the medicine is suitable for your patient and always report suspected side effects to the MHRA via the yellow card scheme https://t.co/6O5miAzLE1 or via the app #MedSafetyWeek #patientsafety #yellowcardscheme

[MHRAgovuk @MHRAgovuk]

All medicines can cause side effects. #MedSafetyWeek

🧬We've launched a new genetic biobank, the Yellow Card Biobank, in collaboration with @genomicsengland to study if our genes affect the side effects we experience from medicines.

Got a sore throat? Minor illnesses like sore throats, coughs or colds can often be treated at home with over-the-counter medication.

Ask your pharmacist for advice. 👇
