Antibiotics have saved millions of lives since they were first discovered1 – but a world without antibiotics could be closer than we think.
If we do not act today, it’s estimated that 10 million lives a year could be put at risk due to the rise of drug-resistant infections by 2050.2 That’s why we need to work together to find solutions to ensure that future generations continue to benefit from these life-saving medicines.
As part of our efforts, we developed ‘Superbugs: Join the Fight’ – a school programme designed to educate students across the country about antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The lesson plans are available for three age groups across Key Stage 1, 2 and 3 and provide a wide range of resources for teachers to use in class or assemblies to bring this subject to life.
To access the 'Superbugs: Join the fight' teacher resources, simply complete the form below. Upon successful submission, you will receive an email containing download links for each of your chosen modules.
