This guide has been developed in line with National Action Plan commitment 2.3 to support effective public communication on nature and risks associated with antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
It provides a range of approaches, examples, and considerations to help improve the understanding of AMR and to encourage behaviours that reduce infections and slow the development of resistance.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has produced a short video to help explain the issue of antibiotic resistance:
