World Antimicrobial Awareness Week 2025: Preventing Antimicrobial Resistance Together

From 18–24 November 2025, we’re joining the global campaign to raise awareness about the responsible use of antibiotics.

Antibiotics are vital medicines that treat bacterial infections — but they don’t work for viruses like colds, flu, or COVID-19. Every time antibiotics are used incorrectly, bacteria get stronger, making infections harder to treat.

At [Practice Name], we’re committed to keeping antibiotics effective for everyone.
Here’s how you can help:

  • Only use antibiotics when prescribed by a healthcare professional.
  • Always complete the course — don’t share or save leftover antibiotics.
  • Practice good hygiene: wash hands, cover coughs, and keep vaccinations up to date.

Together, we can prevent antimicrobial resistance and protect future generations. 💙
