e-Bug is celebrating World Antimicrobial Awareness Week 2024 (18th-24th November)

In support of the global campaign to raise awareness and understanding of AMR, e-Bug has created a dedicated page to all resources, inside and outside of the classroom, to support facilitators in educating children and young people about antimicrobials, the concept of antimicrobial resistance and the importance of adopting responsible antimicrobial behaviours as the next generation of antibiotic users.
