Every infection prevented is an antimicrobial course avoided👍Prevent infections by keeping vaccinations up to date. It's certainly been a busy time for our fab pharmacy technicians and support workers in the vaccine team along with all the other NHS Tayside staff involved. 🙏

Today's theme is 'antimicrobials in clinical practice'. We know there are lots of staff & MDTs working across NHS Tayside practising good stewardship for their patients. Mostly antibacterials but remember antifungal & antiviral stewardship is important too! Great examples below👍

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
