#AMR is a growing global threat that demands collective action. From policymakers to #healthcareprofessionals and #patients, everyone has a role to play. By empowering #nurses to lead on AMR #stewardship, we can strengthen prevention, and promote prudent antibiotic use.
November 18, 2025 at 4:55 PM
Misuse and overuse of antibiotics accelerate #AMR, making infections harder to treat and increasing risks for patients. Only take antibiotics when prescribed by a healthcare professional, such as nurse prescribers. Responsible use today protects lives tomorrow.

Over 70% of the health burden caused by #AMR in the EU/EEA is due to healthcare-associated infections, half of which could be prevented through simple infection prevention and control measures. Let’s empower nurses to lead on prevention! #EFN #EAAD2025 #InfectionPrevention #frontlinenurses

Frontline #nurses play a vital role in #AMR stewardship. They educate patients, monitor treatments, and ensure antibiotics are used prudently. Empowering nurses with the right resources, training, and prescribing authority is therefore key for patients’ safety.

Nurses are on the frontline of the fight against #AMR. By championing infection prevention, control practices, and responsible antibiotic use, they lead the change towards a safer, healthier future.
