It's Day 2 of World AMR Awareness Week.... sector of the day is Dental Care. Antibiotics don’t cure toothache. Toothache is often caused by decay which may lead to infection. Seek dental professional advice & adopt self care such as hydration, rest and pain relief. #WAAW2024

NHS Tayside is committed to supporting care homes in the fight against antimicrobial resistance. Responsible antibiotic use is key to protecting residents' health and keeping antibiotics effective for us all. Let's do our part! @NHSTayside @SAPGAbx #keepantibioticsworking

Today's theme is 'antimicrobials in clinical practice'. We know there are lots of staff & MDTs working across @NHSTayside practising good stewardship for their patients. Mostly antibacterials but remember antifungal & antiviral stewardship is important too! Great examples below👍

Every infection prevented is an antimicrobial course avoided👍Prevent infections by keeping vaccinations up to date. It's certainly been a busy time for our fab pharmacy technicians and support workers in the vaccine team along with all the other @NHSTayside staff involved. 🙏
