Colleagues have been raising awareness and understanding of antimicrobial resistance and what we can all do to slow it down across our hospitals this week. As a result of drug resistance, antibiotics become ineffective and infections become difficult or impossible to treat.

Great presentation from @MCPadoveze about the barriers and enablers to Nurses' involvement in AMS. Key barriers were lack of training and confidence, and healthcare culture. We've seen this in the UK too. This could be a global phenomenon! #ESCMIDGlobal2024 #ESCMIDGlobal

Like many of you, I have close family with cancer. Their stories have many similarities and some differences, but we support them no matter what. I have seen both successful outcomes and not so...

👀💊9/28 is National Penicillin Allergy Day! I devoted much of my career to studying the negative impact of taking a reported penicillin allergy as truth and using alternative antibiotics. Some adverse consequences are preventable through penicillin allergy evaluation 1/3

Having a #PenicillinAllergy is bad for your health - especially if it is false! Some good de-labelling discussions on this in the last week with @UKCPAPIN and within @NCAlliance_NHS = progress @NCADandPGroup @Lindsay16734018 @lammers37 @hera__ali

Are you really allergic to penicillin? If not, you could be missing out on the right medicine when you need it. Chair of our Antimicrobial Expert Advisory Group @MGilchrist123 explains more: bit.ly/45c09F0 #Penicillin #PenicillinAllergy #PenicillinAllergyDay #Allergy
