The Antibiotic Amnesty Campaign 2023 - Ian Ramsey | VETchat by The Webinar Vet

Joining Anthony for this episode of VETchat by The Webinar Vet is Ian Ramsey, Professor of Small Animal Medicine at the University of Glasgow. In this episode, Anthony and Ian discuss the Antibiotic Amnesty Campaign 2023. The aim of the campaign is to encourage clients to return any unused or out-of-date antibiotics. This will allow correct and safe disposal of antibiotic medications, which will avoid contamination of the environment and help prevent antimicrobial resistance due to inappropriate disposal. Ian shares why the campaign is needed, such as raising awareness about how the incorrect disposal of drugs is impacting our environment through river contamination and more. He talks through how to get involved: putting out a disposable of old pharmaceuticals bin and asking clients to bring in their out-of-date antibiotics.
