Penicillin allergy?
Speak to a healthcare professional.
Infections can get harder to treat if you have a false Penicillin allergy label.
If we carry on misusing antibiotics, they could stop working in the future.

AMR is a global health emergency, yet most patients and the public have never heard of it. We can all play a role in protecting these life-saving medicines so they continue to work.

Rapid point of care testing is making a difference in Calderdale. The simple test shows if a patient has a viral or bacterial infection in 10 mins! So antibiotics are prescribed when really needed.

The universalism of 'anyone can suffer from antimicrobial resistance' never seems to translate to
lots of people are suffering from antibiotic resistance. When you're treated with nitrofurantoin instead of trimethoprim for a urinary tract infection, that's because of AMR.
Stories of people suffering from antimicrobial resistance need to be told thehill.com/opinion/healthca… #amr #minimisingamr

Norovirus is a stomach bug that causes vomiting and diarrhoea.
If you have it, drink lots of fluids and stay at home for 48 hours after your symptoms clear.
Help protect others by not going to work, school, visiting care homes or hospitals.

You can help prevent antimicrobial resistance (AMR) which leads to 1.3 million deaths annually and threatens our economy with an global cost of £2.7 trillion by 2030. "Antimicrobial resistance is invisible. I am not" is a WHO campaign urging us to think how we can prevent AMR.

As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)

A third of the 1.4 billion gloves used by the NHS every year are not needed. This creates waste and harms the environment.
By making changes to everyday actions we can work together to make a positive difference to the environment.
