Same-day awareness efforts from Southmead ward and UKHSA target healthcare staff
A Southmead ward's carers week and a UKHSA antimicrobial-resistance toolkit were both published on 22 September and both direct awareness activity at healthcare staff.
Carers Support Bristol & South Gloucestershire said Ward 34 set aside a week to highlight carers, working with carers liaison Jo Wells to provide information for patients, families and staff [1]. The ward held an open surgery during the week, and the organisation said the initiative increased staff awareness of carers as partners in care [1].
The UK Health Security Agency published resources for World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week and European Antibiotic Awareness Day, aimed at healthcare professionals in England [2].
In one case the vehicle is a ward-level week with direct contact; in the other, it is a set of national resources for healthcare professionals [1][2].
