Celebrating the amazing progress across @NHSCandM on day 2 of #WAAW24 Thank you to @GillianDamant and @rosiejdixon for supporting our @TARGETabx training sessions across the North West. More to come in 24/25 - please contact me for details of future courses.

Together with @NHSNW we delivered @TARGETabx train the trainer sessions to 120 clinicians across #NW in 2023/24 to promote responsible use of antimicrobials. These trainers have now delivered antimicrobial stewardship education to over 640 prescribers. #WAAW #AntibioticGuardians
