The Florey students get their oven mitts out!

To mark the most recent Antibiotic Awareness Week, Florey students organised a bake sale in collaboration with the Sepsis awareness team from The Royal Hallamshire Hospital. The bacteria themed cakes 'proved' a great way to engage the public in conversation about sensible antibiotic use. Thanks to a great effort by all our Florey bakers we raised £42.18 for the Sheffield Teaching Hospital (@SheffieldHosp).

​The theme of this years' event is "Think twice, seek advice" reminding people to never take antibiotics without first consulting a qualified healthcare professional. During the winter months, when everyone is full of a Cold and wait times to see a GP are long, it can be more tempting than ever to take left over antibiotics. However, in the case of a Cold, taking antibiotics will have no effect on the virus causing the infection and may cause unwanted side effects. The best thing you can do is give yourself time to get plenty of rest and consult a doctor if your symptoms persist.
