e-bug Website's Free Resources for teaching simple hygiene meaures

The North and South Norfolk CCGs are currently looking at education within Norfolk schools around self-care for self-limiting minor conditions. NICE (the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) has published final guidance recommending all children and young people, from pre-school to university age, be taught the importance of hand washing and managing some common infections themselves. These recommendations aim to educate the general public in how they can contribute in the battle against antimicrobial resistance.

The e-bug website is available to support teachings around microbes and antibiotics. These are aimed separately at Primary and Secondary school age and also at young adults. The teaching material includes lesson plans, games, home projects and quizzes among other resources.
