As @deboraheastwood heard at Fitton @YorkshireORC I’m a believer in thinking carefully even for prophylactic antibiotics..

ANTRUK explaining antibiotic stewardship...
New #AskANTRUK Q&A posted online now. "What IS Antimicrobial Stewardship, and why is it so important?" #antibiotics #AMR
PPAK Study retweeted
Each year, we hear from 100s of people with #AntibioticResistant infections who’ve run out of antibiotics to try. Their lives have been turned upside down - they’ve lost jobs & need constant care.
We must act now to protect ourselves & future generations
