#AntimicrobialResistance is something we all need to be aware of and understand the impact it could have. Help #KeepAntibioticsWorking by only using them when prescribed by a healthcare professional & making sure to finish taking the full course of antibiotics. #WAAW

When leaving hospital, specialist transport is only available to patients in exceptional circumstances... and a morning discharge is to be expected.
Whether you're go by car, taxi, community or public transport, help us get you #HomeForLunch by planning your journey in advance.

One of the most underrepresented impacts of discharge waits is the impact of ambulances waiting at ‘the front door’ If you can help get a friend or relative home early in the day please do - you never know when you might be the one waiting for that ambulance. @WyeValleyNHS

Vaccination 💉 is a highly effective & safe way of preventing communicable diseases.
Vaccines can decrease the severity of illness & risk of hospitalisation & even death.
The infection prevention team have been vaccinated against Flu & Covid.

IPC is not just about healthcare it relates to everyone all of the time. Some bacteria are helpful and others not so good. Curious… Hear about the science and magic of 🦠 bacteria 🧫bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001qlz…
