It's World AMR Awareness week. Spent this morning killing bugs with antibiotic hammers and making pompom bacteria. Sometimes it's fun to be a paediatrician... with thanks to @GCH_Charity #WAAW2025 #KeepAntibioticsWorking #AMR

Seeing a LOT of sick patients on my ward rounds with #flu or #COVID19 just now. The rising numbers are also causing enormous pressures on the health service. If you’re eligible for flu +/- covid19 vaccine and not had it, please consider getting it. 🦠 😷 🏥💉 #VaccinesWork
