Content ArticleIt is important that patients and their medical team work in partnership when making decisions about using antibiotics, whether that’s when a GP prescribes an antibiotic or if you’re in hospital and need antibiotics. The Patients Association has developed these resources to help patients make informed decisions about taking antibiotics. They were developed in partnership with patients, carers, healthcare professionals and Pfizer Ltd., who funded and supported the project. The information will help patients partner with their medical team when deciding about using antibiotics. These resources focus on when a patient is in the hospital, but they may also be used as a helpful reminder whenever you are considering taking antibiotics. The resources include a patient leaflet and animated video.
