‘Keep Antibiotics Working’ campaign supports the government’s continued efforts to reduce inappropriate prescriptions for antibiotics.

The campaign warns people that taking antibiotics when they are not needed puts them at risk of a more severe or longer infection, and urges people to take their doctor’s advice on antibiotics.

To help Antibiotic Guardian make a big impact:

  • share planned activities, outcomes, pictures, and campaign case studies with the Antibiotic Guardian Chair, Dr Diane Ashiru-Oredope by email: espaur@phe.gov.uk
  • use the #AntibioticGuardian hashtag on social media to promote your antibiotic awareness activities
  • copies of Tweetable graphics or messages are available
