World Antibiotic Awareness Week and European Antibiotic Awareness Day provide an excellent opportunity to engage with healthcare workers and the public on tackling antimicrobial resistance. The letter to the NHS and professional organisations was published by NHS England and Improvement on 21 October 2019. It is available at NHS England.

The letter includes invitations for colleagues and organisations to:

  • register AMR awareness activities using the online registration form
  • use the ‘Keep Antibiotics Working’ campaign materials in activities to raise awareness amongst the public
  • use professional or organisation’s social media channels to promote important messages on AMR throughout the winter season

The objective for the 2018 awareness events and campaigns was to promote the prudent use of antibiotics.

These letters are for Directors of Public Health and the Chairs of Health and Wellbeing Boards to:

  • inform them about Antibiotic Guardian
  • request the registration of planned activities for WAAW and EAAD
