World Antibiotics Awareness Week - 18-24 November 2025

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines, making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death. As a result of drug resistance, antibiotics and other antimicrobial medicines become ineffective and infections become increasingly difficult or impossible to treat.

World AMR Awareness Week helps to raise awareness of the correct and incorrect ways to use antibiotics, supporting people to take antibiotics correctly, keep antibiotics working, and tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR)

For patients:

*Take antibiotics as directed by your doctor or other healthcare professional

*Take the right dosage at the right time

*Complete the whole course

*Don't save them for later, leftover antibiotics don't work

*Antibiotics don't work against viruses, such as cold and flu

Call NHS 111 and select the mental health option if you, or someone you know, is in a mental health crisis.

Available 24/7, you’ll speak to a mental health professional who can help you find the right support.

 If there’s an immediate risk to life ring 999 or go to A&E.

There is a new men’s mental health group in Farnworth and is open for any male patient to attend – no referral required.
