Keep Antibiotics Working Campaign 2024
Published: 19/11/24
The 'Keep Antibiotics Working' Campaign aims to promote safe and sustainable antibiotics use ahead of this year's World Antimicrobial Awareness Week 2024 (18-24 November 2024).
World AMR Awareness Week is a global campaign to raise awareness and understanding of AMR and promote safe and sustainable use of antibiotics to reduce the emergence and spread of drug-resistant infections.
For World AMR Awareness Week, we're asking for your support in sharing our 'Keep Antibiotics Working' campaign resources. These resources aim to raise awareness of key actions everyone can take to help address the threat of AMR ahead of and including World AMR Awareness Week in November.
Since the first launch of the toolkit on 2 October, we have added additional resources to the toolkit. We have also included a letter from Chief Professional Officers and other senior officials to promote actions that we can all take to address AMR and ensure that antibiotics remain effective both now and in the future.
