UK Minister for Public Health visits Alcura

 

We were delighted to welcome the The Minister for Public Health, Start for Life and Primary Care, the Rt Hon Andrea Leadsom MP to Alcura’s Brackmills site to show her the fantastic work our Northampton team are doing.

 

The minister was given a full tour of the site by Alcura’s Head of Production, Ellie Taylor, and saw first-hand the vital role our staff play in the medicine supply chain.

 

The minster then sat down with Alliance Healthcare’s Marie Evans, Owen Cooper, Sam Unsworth and Catherine Van Vilet to discuss the key challenges the sector faces and the incredible work of Alcura’s home care offering. 

 

Thank you to everyone involved in the visit and a special thanks to the Alcura Northampton Team for all of your hard work.

World Antimicrobial Awareness Week 2023: Alliance Healthcare UK and Alphega Pharmacy Reiterate Their Commitment

 

Alliance Healthcare UK and Alphega Pharmacy are once more rallying behind World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW) this year. This marks a continuation of their support from the previous year, as they aim to tackle the global challenge of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR).

 

The theme for WAAW 2023 is "Preventing Antimicrobial Resistance Together”. This decision was made after a comprehensive online consultation by the World Health Organisation, with stakeholders spanning human, animal, plant, and environmental health sectors in search of an impactful campaign theme.

 

This year's WAAW runs from the 18th till the 25th of November. The week-long initiative aspires to raise awareness about global antimicrobial resistance (AMR), driving best practices regarding antimicrobial usage to curtail the emergence and spread of drug-resistant infections.

 

Marie Evans, Managing Director, Alliance Healthcare said: “We are once again proud to be supporting AMR week to increase awareness of global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and to encourage best practices for using antimicrobials. It is important to continue to share awareness of this and pledge our support along with the NHS.”

 

The campaign alerts people that unnecessary intake of antibiotics could lead them towards having more serious or prolonged infections and strongly encourages adherence to doctor’s advice on antibiotic use.
