Great to see BIA supporting the next generation of researchers addressing #AMR. Other important areas of research also available 😊!

Antibiotics MUST be prescription only meds. But… Drs overprescribing antibiotics drives AMR. Could pharmacist prescribers do better…?

Sadly pretty bad here too. Lots of vacant posts The State of Hospital Infection Services in the UK: National Workforce... sciencedirect.com/science/articl… We need a single specialty of infection medicine which would really help rcpjournals.org/content/clinme…

We need Rishi Sunak & Steve Barclay to spend time in any A&E to witness the horrors of corridor care Then they would understand the reasons for 500 excess deaths a week And then they might try and solve the problem rather than deny there is one Pls retweet to encourage them

Mystifying how little in the news of #JuniorDoctorsStrike Anyone who wants smart dedicated people to look after them when they are sick needs to start making some noise in support. Plenty of otherways these people can make a living outside the nhs. #IstandWithJuniordoctors

Astonishing that the #JuniorDoctorsStrike seems subject to a news blackout. BBC News (UK) covering Paris bin strikes though - how wild is that?! What's going on do you think?
