At @ABsteward's request, TB is pulled out into its own brand new table, including adding seminal short course, historical TB studies. So now there are 3 Shorter Is Better Tables. The original. TB Is Complex. And Exceptions. If you know of other TB RCTs, let me know!

There is no evidence that the #COVID19 vaccine has an impact on fertility. Watch Dr Gayatri Amirthalingam, a consultant from the national immunisation team at @PHE_uk, explain in more detail 👇 Get more information from @RCObsGyn: rcog.org.uk/en/news/RCOG-and…

Great to see the 3rd AMS regional lead post being advertised, this time in the North West. Building a team of expert pharmacists in NHSE&I to champion the AMR/AMS agenda in the regions and nationally. Expecting to see some strong candidates. @keithridge1 jobs.england.nhs.uk/job/v295…

Reducing unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions in #COVID19 remains a challenge. Our paper tackling this finally out in @BSACandJAC! Routinely measured inflammatory markers can help exclude bacterial co-infection & promote #antimicrobialstewardship (1/5) academic.oup.com/jac/advance…

I am proud of the UK's history of working with our international partners to combat Antimicrobial Resistance. 193 countries signed the historic global declaration in 2016- recognising that AMR is a global priority that needs global action and collaboration. 🌍🇺🇳💊

I’m reading that a life is saved for every 20 covid vaccines given . If we have given just over 6300 just in our hospital..... what a difference that will make 🤞. We have to push on - we can do this.

How vital pharmacy teams ARE not can be.... The lack of hospital pharmacy representation in the officers @rpharms is really frustrating

Is there any further info on who are the vulnerable groups for the 12 week isolation. Guidance says anyone who would get flu vaccine, so do we isolate all asthmatics? All diabetics?
#antibioticawarenessweek starts today. Best poster in #NewZealand? World? How far away can we get it retweeted? #AntibioticResistance
