In Episode 6 of Peterloo’s Daily Dose, Clinical Pharmacist Kiran and Pharmacy Technician Millie tackle two important healthcare challenges – medication wastage and antibiotic resistance.

They discuss why ordering medicines you don’t need can have a huge impact on the NHS, what to do with unused medication, and how small changes can help ensure medicines are available for those who need them most. They also explore why antibiotics don’t work for every illness, the growing threat of antibiotic resistance, and how we can all play a part in protecting these life-saving medicines for the future.

Join Kiran and Millie for practical advice, myth-busting, and simple tips to help you use your medicines safely and responsibly.
