Overuse of antibiotics makes them less effective for us all.

Play your part by taking up vaccinations when they are offered. They teach your immune system to create antibodies to protect you, which is much safer than treatment #KeepAntibioticsWorking

Promotional image for NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire’s Pharmacy First service. On the left, a dark blue panel displays a large yellow quotation mark and a testimonial in white text. The testimonial reads: “I used Pharmacy First when my daughter had an ear infection. Emma (pictured, left) offered a same-day appointment and provided antibiotics. A very thorough and professional service, meaning we did not need to see the GP.” Below the quote is the name “Jessica Nottinghamshire” in a white and navy label. At the top right is the NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire logo. On the right side of the image, two people stand inside a pharmacy with shelves of medicines visible in the background. At the bottom left, a QR code appears next to the slogan “Think Pharmacy First” in bold yellow and white text on a dark blue background.
