Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness Week
This week is Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week! AMR occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites become resistant to the medicines that once killed them. This makes infections harder to treat, posing a serious health risk to all.
At Merton Lodge, we’re committed to helping protect you and your family from the impact of resistant infections. Here’s how you can help:
Only use antibiotics when prescribed by a healthcare professional. Complete your entire course of antibiotics, even if you start feeling better. Don’t share antibiotics or use leftovers from previous treatments. Practice good hygiene to prevent infections.
Together, we can combat AMR and ensure these life-saving medicines remain effective for future generations. Let’s all do our part!
