Antibiotic resistance affects you, but do you know how? You may have seen this topic on the news and scattered on the media last week - let’s build on that and discuss how we can work together daily to combat antibiotic resistance.

Chief Medical Officer, Professor Dame Sally Davies said:

"When we use antibiotics inappropriately, we are increasing the opportunities for the bugs to develop resistance – the biggest threat to human health today."
