Why is e-Bug important? Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats facing us today. Without effective antibiotics many routine treatments will become increasingly dangerous. “Antimicrobial resistance poses a catastrophic threat. If we don’t act now, any one of us could go into hospital in 20 years for minor surgery and die because of an ordinary infection that can’t be treated by antibiotics." (Dame Sally Davies, 2015). e-Bug aims to reduce antibiotic resistance across Europe by educating children and young people on prudent antibiotic use. Back Next e-Bug Training Module for Educators 1.

Why is e-Bug important? Schools have a high transmission rate of infectious diseases with respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses being the most common. Children are super spreaders and infections are the major cause of absenteeism in schools. e-Bug aims to educate children and young people on microbes, the spread, treatment and prevention of infection and antibiotic use. If we can reduce the spread of infection in children and young people by educating them on these topics, we can reduce infections and reduce antibiotic use and subsequently reduce antibiotic resistance.

Why is e-Bug important? How do we reduce antibiotic resistance? Education! We can teach the next generation about proper antibiotic use as well as hygiene, microbes and the spread, treatment and prevention of infection along with other health issues. But where does this health education come from? Health education comes from a variety of sources: Science lessons PSHE lessons Visitor talks (including School Nurse) Back Next e-Bug Training Module for Educators 1. Introduction 2.

What can e-Bug offer you? While schools are an appropriate setting for children to learn health messages, the delivery of health education is varied throughout England. Historically, school nurses have been involved in the delivery of health education. But research shows that this has changed and teachers are now becoming more important in providing health education. Our research shows that there is a demand for free, accessible and reliable health education resources for teachers and school nurses to use and signpost to. e-Bug provides free health education resources for educators and this training module will assist educators in using the resources.
