World Antimicrobial Awareness Week

🌍 World Antimicrobial Awareness Week | 18–24 November
💊 Use Antibiotics Wisely — Protect the Future

At Knowsley Medical Centre, we’re supporting World Antimicrobial Awareness Week to highlight the importance of using antibiotics safely and responsibly.

Did you know?
Antibiotics do not treat viral infections such as colds, flu, or most coughs. Using them when they’re not needed can lead to antibiotic resistance, making infections harder to treat in the future.

💙 How you can help:
✔ Only take antibiotics when prescribed by a healthcare professional
✔ Never share or save leftover antibiotics
✔ Follow the full course exactly as advised
✔ Protect yourself from infections—wash hands regularly and keep vaccinations up to date

Together, we can preserve the power of antibiotics for future generations.

If you’re unsure whether you need antibiotics, speak to our team—we’re here to help.
📞 Contact Knowsley Medical Centre for advice or an appointment.
