When a pharmacist accept a job at a hospital, they surrender their prior identity and their name changes to “Pharmacy”

Three NHS sites in England are to start piloting FRACTIONAL dosing of monkeypox vaccine. Starting today in Manchester, and with two London sites joining soon, the pilots will explore feasibility + acceptability of dosing this way. gov.uk/government/new…

It’s like Christmas Eve! HIVE is going to revolutionise Antimicrobial Stewardship at MFT….can you tell I’m a little bit excited! #patientcentredAMS @antibioticangel MFT_Pharmacy Katherine A-Z 🏳️‍🌈

Great day learning, planning and networking with colleagues from the North West to tackle the challenge of reducing C.diff infections across the region…bit worried about what’s in the lunch bags though! #NHSNWImproveCDI #nhsnwamr Azurewrath NWAPG

Never give your medication to someone else and never give them your antibiotics. Antibiotic resistance is a global problem - only ever take antibiotics that are prescribed for you. @MFT_Chief_Pharmacist MFT NHS

Well done to all the AMS Pharmacy Team for their hard work pulling our WAAW campaign together! Fortunate to welcome some very special helpers today to spread the #AntibioticAwarenessWeek message at MFT! Kieran Hand PhD Diane Ashiru, PhD David Webb Gillian Damant MFT_Pharmacy

A willingness to share their experience and to communicate lessons learned will undoubtedly lead to benefits to patients and the NHS that extend well beyond the boundaries of Greater Manchester. Keep up the great work MFT! Inspirational!

People aren’t dying because NHS staff are striking. NHS staff are striking because people are dying. Please RT if you get that.

Fantastic interview by the ever inspiring and supportive @francesgarragh1 and Louise Sweeney🦄!! Proud to be an Azurewrath ….the Meme Queen remains a mystery 🧐

Our #RegionalInfectiousDiseasesUnit has just been reflecting on #WorldTBDay2023 🌍 What matters to our patients living with TB, what matters to our team caring for patients with TB & our role in #AntibioticStewardship With cake ofc! #YesWeCanEndTB #WMTM Kirstie Salthouse @MrsHMR83

Give the gift of time to a nurse on #InternationalNursesDay by switching a prescription from IV to oral antibiotics. You'll release 20 minutes of their time for each dose switched. Imagine what nurses could do with all those extra 20 minutes?

Over one million people a year die as a result of antimicrobial resistance. The Fleming Centre will drive a global movement to tackle it. Proud to become Patron of the appeal to create this vital centre, which will educate, inspire and catalyse action to solve this problem.

Great to be back in a room full of fellow AMS enthusiasts 🦠 💊 Lots of ideas to take back to MFT Azurewrath Katherine A-Z 🏳️‍🌈

Switching intravenous to oral administration can help to reduce the carbon footprint of clinical care, and has clinical and cost benefits. This article offers pointers on how to safely switch #SustainablePractice @minna_eii Sarah Walpole (she/her) Catherine Aldridge bmj.com/content/383/bm…

An epic, stormy journey up to Edinburgh but proud to represent MFT FIS Conference on the EPIC stewardship work we’ve been doing @antibioticangel MFT_Pharmacy

This #WorldAIDSDay, please watch our anti-stigma TV advert made in partnership with Scottish Government. Tackling stigma must be a priority – everyone needs to play their part by shouting about the progress we've made. Because we will never end the HIV epidemic without ending stigma.

Brilliant article that really resonated when reflecting on this year! “Where do we go from here?..An overhaul on the way antimicrobial stewardship is perceived is essential if we want to have a sustainable, engaged, and fulfilled stewardship workforce.” academic.oup.com/cid/article/do…
