About the Bug and Drug Project
In 2016, we launched a project focused on improving education and raising awareness of antimicrobial resistance. The aim was to address the critical challenges of this issue and healthcare-associated infection.
We use several resources and education styles to deliver a multi-tiered educational programme about microbes and antibiotics to multi-professional groups and the wider public.
This project is nurse-led and strives to bring individuals from different occupations and agencies together through an integrated education approach. This should increase their understanding of their role in protecting patients against both infection and inappropriate antibiotic use throughout the patient pathway.
