Scotland has been a key partner in the development of the new Antimicrobial Resistance National Action Plan. Follow the link in the comments to read about the action plan, and find out more about our organisation's work to safeguard antibiotics now and for the future.

Using antibiotics that have been lying in the house for a while means they may have expired. When antibiotics reach their expiration date, there’s no guarantee they will be safe or effective, potentially leading to more serious illness. Read more at the link in comments.

It was wonderful to have our friends from Ghana join us today to learn more about how Scotland has been working to safeguard antibiotics, and to hear about our plans for the future. We're delighted to have this opportunity to share knowledge between our two countries #SAPG15

We'd like to thank everyone who attended our special event to mark 15 years of working to safeguard antibiotics. It was a great turn out with lots of opportunities to share knowledge. Thanks to you all for your enthusiasm and commitment #SAPG15
