How can we win the fight against antibiotic resistance? We need you!

This animation aims to teach children and families about some of the causes of antibiotic resistance, the effect that will have on people’s health worldwide and how people can use antibiotic medicines better. This young person-led project was a co-production between the NIHR GenerationR Liverpool Young People’s Advisory Group (YPAG), Attitude Performing Arts School (a community-based organization aimed at 6-16-year-olds), the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) funded study BATCH (Biomarker-guided duration of antibiotic treatment in children hospitalised with confirmed or suspected bacterial infection) study team, and the British Society of Antimicrobial Resistance (BSAC) Antibiotic Action. The project received funding from the University of Liverpool Knowledge exchange program, and was led by Jenny Preston (senior patient and public involvement manager) for the NIHR Alder Hey Clinical Research Facility.
