It's still day 3 of WAAW but we wanted to share another resource for our sector of the day Acute Care! Review IV antibiotics daily... many oral antibiotics we use in NHS Tayside have excellent bioavailability. Stopping IVs promptly saves resources too!🌎#WAAW2024@AntibioticScot

Non-medical prescribers across all NHS Tayside care sectors prescribe antimicrobials & there is fantastic engagement with stewardship by this group of staff. We are delighted @NHSTayside NMP policy includes a stewardship section & promotes audit & education & 5Rights⬇️🥰#WAAW2024
It's Day 2 of World AMR Awareness Week.... sector of the day is Dental Care. Antibiotics don’t cure toothache. Toothache is often caused by decay which may lead to infection. Seek dental professional advice & adopt self care such as hydration, rest and pain relief. #WAAW2024
