Hand hygiene matters — and we’ve got a lesson for that which supports PSHE and shows why washing hands after the toilet helps prevent infection, using the fun Toilet Paper Experiment. 👩‍🔬

Infection prevention and antimicrobial resistance are in the curriculum, but children often don't know much about them. e-Bug can help raise awareness and equip the next generation to combat this public health crisis. During 2026, use e-Bug resources to help make a difference.

Looking for fun and exciting activities to use in your early years settings next year?

Germs can travel far with a sneeze or cough! Teach children how infections spread—and how to stop them:
✔️ Use a tissue or your sleeve (not hands!)
✔️ Catch it, bin it, kill it
✔️ Hands spread germs too!

Picking up medicines? Anything to return? #AntibioticAmnesty

Teach #KS2 students about antibiotics—when they’re needed, rules for taking them, and that they should only be used if prescribed by a doctor!

[e-Bug @eBug_UK]

Antibiotics are overprescribed in children; consider delayed antibiotic prescriptions with clear safety-netting and caregiver advice

Using the e-Bug AMR resources, students learn how bacteria evolve to resist antibiotics and why it's crucial to only take them when truly needed
