Why it is relevant to you: Without effective antibiotics many routine treatments will become increasingly dangerous. Setting broken bones, basic operations, even chemotherapy and animal health all rely on access to antibiotics that work.

What we want you to do: To slow resistance we need to cut the unnecessary use of antibiotics. We invite the public, students and educators, farmers, the veterinary and medical communities and professional organisations, to become Antibiotic Guardians.

When your GP advises that antibiotics won't help your symptoms, it's not because they want you to suffer. It's because they won't help and overuse of these vital medicines can mean they wont work when you actually do need them. Like you, we don't want these lifesaving medications to become obselete, and if your condition indicates that they are needed, then they will be prescribed for you.
