Motion to create an antibiotic awareness campaign

This house agrees that:

1. Antibiotic misuse is a growing problem that has gone unknown for many years.

2. Antibiotic misuse includes unnecessary use of antibiotics,not taking antibiotics at regular intervals and taking excessive doses without consultation from a medical professional.

3. Antibiotic misuse can lead to health problems when not administered properly; leading to the development of bacterial resistance towards antibiotics, which ultimately makes treating illnesses more difficult.

4. Citizens are uninformed of the dangers of improper antibiotic use. This is mainly due to the lack of awareness campaigns that explain how and when antibiotics should be administered.

And thus, urges to:

1. Establish an antibiotic awareness campaign on TV and other mediatic means, that will also expose the dangers of excessive or unnecessary antibiotics use.

2. This campaign will incite citizens to:

   1. Avoid the excessive and unnecessary use of antibiotics, especially in the case of viral infections when antibiotics are useless.
   2. Refer to a doctor before taking antibiotics.

Motion written by /u/Rami98, sponsored by The Rt Hon. /u/thechattyshow MP (Health Secretary) on behalf of the Liberal Democrats.

The reading for this motion will end on the 11th of April.
