On 18 November 2012, the UK will once again support the annual European Antibiotic Awareness Day (EAAD). In particular, hospitals will be asked to promote the Start Smart-Then Focus guidance for hospitals launched in 2011, while the Royal College of General Practitioners will publish the TARGET Antibiotics toolkit on their web site. TARGET (Treat Antibiotics Responsibly, Guidance, Education, Tools) emphasizes the need for both primary care staff and the public to use antibiotics responsibly, and provides guidance, education and tools. The web site has been developed by a multiprofessional group and hosts national antibiotic guidance, an antibiotic app, leaflets designed to be shared by patients during consultations, a presentation for clinicians, an interactive self-assessment tool, audit tools, posters and videos for the waiting room and links to other materials. The EAAD is still very relevant and worth promoting enthusiastically through all clinical professionals in an effort to encourage responsible use of antibiotics and thereby control antibiotic resistance.
2012 年 11 月 18 日，英国将再次支持一年一度的欧洲抗菌药物认识日（EAAD）。特别是，医院将被要求推广 2011 年推出的“明智开始，重点关注”（Start Smart-Then Focus）医院指南，而皇家全科医师学院将在其网站上发布 TARGET 抗生素工具包。TARGET（负责任地使用抗生素、指导、教育、工具）强调初级保健人员和公众都需要负责任地使用抗生素，并提供指导、教育和工具。该网站由多专业团队开发，提供国家抗生素指南、抗生素应用程序、设计为患者在咨询期间共享的传单、为临床医生设计的演示文稿、互动自我评估工具、审计工具、候诊室的海报和视频以及其他材料的链接。EAAD 仍然非常相关，值得所有临床专业人员热情推广，以鼓励负责任地使用抗生素，从而控制抗生素耐药性。
