By choosing a simple pledge about how you'll support the better use of antibiotics, will help slow down the development of antibiotic resistance.
Here are some suggestions but you may want to choose your own:-
- Every time a customer presents with a self-limiting respiratory infection I will use the patient information leaflet to explain the potential duration of illness and how to treat their symptoms available here.
- When customers pick up an antibiotic prescription, I will encourage them to take the Antibiotic Guardian quiz online and to choose their own pledge to become Antibiotic Guardians
- To help reduce demand for unnecessary antibiotics, I will display materials from the Keep Antibiotics Working campaign to raise awareness of AMR. E.g via local stands, social media campaign or handing out information leaflets
- To help reduce demand for unnecessary antibiotics, I will display other locally developed/other materials to raise awareness of AMR. E.g via local stands, social media campaign or handing out information leaflets
