If you’ve visited the practice this week, you may have seen our display for World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week.

Please remember to make a pledge to use antibiotics responsibly at https://antibioticguardian.com

Taking antibiotics when you don’t need them encourages harmful bacteria that live inside you to become resistant. That means that antibiotics may not work when you really need them. This puts you and your family at risk of a more severe or longer illness.

19/11/2025

Remember that antibiotics don’t work for many infections, including common respiratory infections like the common cold, flu and Covid19. This week is World Antimicrobial Awareness Week, designed to raise awareness about the risks of antibiotic resistance. Please do take your GP’s advice if they think antibiotics aren’t needed for your illness.

18/11/2025

It’s World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week. This is a global initiative to help fight antibiotic resistance.

Without effective antibiotics many routine treatments will become increasingly dangerous. Setting broken bones, basic operations, even chemotherapy and animal health all rely on access to antibiotics that work.

It is important to remember that antibiotics do not treat or prevent viruses, including the one that causes COVID19. To slow resistance we need to cut the unnecessary use of antibiotics.

All the staff at Ordsall Health Surgery are making a pledge at antibioticguardian.com on how they’ll better use antibiotics to prevent them from becoming obsolete.

Please join us in making your pledge!
