Antibiotic overuse has become a significant problem, and this has led to increases in the number of children with glue ear and possibly asthma, as well as C diff infections and MRSA. We are therefore keen to try and optimise the health of the patients within the practice by limiting our antibiotic prescribing, and only using them when absolutely necessary.
Please find below some websites that you will find useful in helping you to manage some common conditions without the use of antibiotics.
