Nearly 900 packs of medicine returned to Midlands pharmacies during regional antibiotic amnesty
The Scottish government has said it also intends to run an amnesty campaign via community pharmacies.
Community pharmacies in the Midlands received 883 packs of full or partially unused medicines during an antibiotic amnesty held in November 2022.
The annual campaign, led by NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board (ICB) and NHS Black Country ICB, is aimed to combat the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by reducing the number of antibiotics that are used unnecessarily and unsafely.
