💙 Going Blue for AMR

Today, the team at Village is wearing blue to mark World Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness Week, running from 18–24 November.

AMR happens when bacteria no longer respond to antibiotics — a growing global threat that affects us all.

⚠️ Why it matters:
When antibiotics are overused or used incorrectly, they become less effective. Without them, everyday infections could become far more difficult to treat.

💬 How you can help:
• Only take antibiotics when prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional
• Never save leftover antibiotics or share them with others
• Always complete the full course, even if you start to feel better
• Wash your hands regularly and keep up to date with vaccinations

🚨 Together, we can protect today and safeguard the future

This week we’re shining a light on something tiny but mighty — microbes! 🔬✨
Antimicrobial Awareness Week reminds us that every time we use antibiotics correctly, we help keep them working for the future.

💊 Use wisely. 🧠 Stay informed. 🌎 Protect
everyone.

This Week is Antimicrobial
Resistance Awareness week. ❌💊❌
Remember:
- Antibiotics do not treat viral infections and have no effect on Colds, the Flu and Sore Throats 🤧
- Trust your medical professional if they say antibiotics are not necessary 👩🏽‍⚕️
- Overusing antibiotics in the present means as resistance grows, antibiotics become less effective, making infections more difficult to treat and potentially leading to severe illness, disease spread, and death

“This Van Can” mobile roadshow will travel across all ten boroughs of Greater Manchester for the next seven months. On board, specially trained staff will be available for free, friendly conversations about spotting the early signs of cancer.
Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance

Could you spot the signs?
The earlier cancer is found, the easier it is to treat. The NHS wants everyone to know the key symptoms to look out for, including:
A lump or swelling anywhere on the body
A cough or breathlessness lasting more than three weeks
Unexplained bleeding (in p*e, poo, or between periods)
Heartburn that lasts for three weeks or more
Unexplained tiredness, pain, loss of appetite, or weight loss

Dr Sarah Taylor, a Manchester GP, explains:
“Most of the time, these symptoms aren’t cancer – but it’s always worth getting them checked. If it is cancer, catching it early makes all the difference. We want people to know that their GP is here for them.”
