Good hand hygiene is the best way to reduce the spread of infection. The AMRIC Hand Hygiene training on @HSE_HSeLanD is mandatory for all HSE staff and staff in HSE funded services. Infection prevention is a vital part of providing safe healthcare, and is all our responsibility.

Antimicrobial Resistance causes antibiotics to become less effective, or useless, in treating infection. An online survey has launched today to give the public an opportunity to inform Ireland’s next National Action Plan for Antimicrobial Resistance. gov.ie/en/department-of-heal…

We all have a role to play in safeguarding antibiotics for the future. European Antibiotic Awareness Day reminds us that antibiotics are a valuable resource and should be used prudently to prevent and reduce antibiotic resistance. #KeepAntibioticsWorking youtube.com/watch?v=tz2JdrN4…

#Antibiotics are used to treat or prevent some types of bacterial infection. Antibiotics do not work for viral infections such as colds and flu, and most coughs. Taking antibiotics when you do not need them can cause you harm.
