Hand hygiene matters — and we’ve got a lesson for that which supports PSHE and shows why washing hands after the toilet helps prevent infection, using the fun Toilet Paper Experiment. 👩🔬 A great way to bring science and health together! https://t.co/WZLcfMLUwT

Infection prevention and antimicrobial resistance are in the curriculum, but children often don't know much about them. e-Bug can help raise awareness and equip the next generation to combat this public health crisis. During 2026, use e-Bug resources to help make a difference.

Much of the modern medicine we are lucky to have today, like surgery and chemotherapy, is made possible using #antimicrobials. But the growing problem of #AMR could make these procedures riskier.

The process of #microbes becoming #resistant to #antimicrobials can happen naturally over time, but we accelerate the process by using these #medicines at the wrong time, or in the wrong way.
