World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW) 18th – 24th November 2025
THIS CONTENT HAS NOW EXPIRED
The theme for World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW) 2025 is “Act Now: Protect Our Present, Secure Our Future.” This theme underscores the urgent need for bold, coordinated, cross-sectoral action to address AMR, a growing global threat that is already affecting our health, food systems, environment and economies. AMR is not a distant challenge; it is a present danger that demands immediate, sustained action. Drug-resistant infections are increasing, yet awareness, financing, investment and action remain insufficient.
Paediatric antibiotic quiz for health care professionals
One of our Norfolk and Waveney ICB pharmacists has worked with NHS England to develop a World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW) quiz focused on antibiotic use in children — it’s time to test your knowledge of antimicrobial prescribing in paediatrics!
This is a great learning opportunity for all healthcare professionals involved in the care or treatment of children, helping to highlight the importance of safe and effective antibiotic use.
Have a go at the quiz.
Please share the quiz with colleagues who prescribe for or look after children. Answers will be available after form has been submitted.
A full list of answers and references is available on the East of England Regional FutureNHS page. Paediatric AMS quiz – Antimicrobial Resistance Programme – Futures
