🦠 The Growing Threat of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Almost 5 million global deaths annually are linked to bacterial infections, with 1.27 million directly caused by AMR. AMR impacts health systems and economies by: ⚠️ Increasing demand for costly, intensive care ⚠️ Prolonging hospital stays and reducing patient productivity ⚠️ Disrupting agricultural productivity Combatting AMR requires global efforts in antibiotic stewardship, innovation, and public awareness. Together, let's fight this silent pandemic. 🌍 #AMR #GlobalHealth #AntimicrobialResistance #Schülke #InfectionPrevention

🤔 Are Bacteria Getting Smarter? Bacteria exhibit incredible adaptability through 𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒙𝒊𝒔, allowing them to sense and seek nutrients. 🦠 What’s more, bacteria communicate using signaling molecules, enabling them to coordinate actions. New research reveals that this communication can warn others of existential danger, helping them stay away and survive. This sophisticated behaviour underscores the growing challenge of combating bacterial infections. 🧬 What are your thoughts? #Microbiology #BacterialIntelligence #HealthcareInnovation #Schülke

For healthcare providers, maintaining infection control during wound care is crucial. 🖐️ Hand Hygiene: Wash hands thoroughly, change gloves between tasks, and keep nails short and natural. 🛠️ Proper Instrument Use: Use a new foam-tipped probe each time to prevent contamination. Tools like bandage scissors should be single-use or sterilised after each procedure. Prioritising these practices helps protect patients and improve healing outcomes. #InfectionControl #WoundCare #Healthcare

🔍 Insights to Wound Healing Wound healing is an intricate process where the body repairs damaged tissue to restore structure and functionality. Understanding the stages of wound healing can help assess progress and spot complications. 4 Stages of Wound Healing: 1. Haemostasis – Blood clot formation stops bleeding immediately after injury. 2. Inflammatory Phase – White blood cells fight infection; redness and swelling occur. 3. Proliferative Phase – New tissue, collagen, and blood vessels form. 4. Remodelling Phase – Collagen reorganizes, and scar tissue matures. Infection Prevention Tips: - Follow hygiene practices strictly. - Monitor for infection signs. - Keep vaccinations up-to-date. Proper care is key to successful healing! 🩹 #WoundHealing #Healthcare #Schülke

🩹 Proper wound care is essential for effective healing and infection prevention. Here are some key steps: 1. Maintain Cleanliness – Always wash your hands before handling a wound to prevent contamination. 2. Gentle Cleaning – Use a mild saline solution or antiseptic. Avoid harsh chemicals or force that can harm delicate tissues. 3. Appropriate Dressing – Protects the wound from contaminants, promotes a moist environment, and manages drainage. 4. Maintain Moisture Balance – Moisture aids cell migration and repair, but excessive moisture can lead to maceration. 5. Regular Dressing Changes – Reduces infection risk and provides a clean environment for healing. #WoundCare #HealingTips #Schülke

🌍 Observed every 14th November, for this year's World Diabetes Day, we’re reminded of the importance of prioritising 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬 & 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥-𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠. With 537 million people globally living with diabetes—and nearly 50% undiagnosed—there’s a pressing need for comprehensive care that goes beyond glucose management. Diabetes affects every aspect of life, often impacting mental and emotional health. Current diabetes care lacks sufficient support for well-being, and it’s time we address this gap. Let’s advocate for diabetes care that supports both physical health and holistic well-being for a healthier, more fulfilling life. #WorldDiabetesDay #DiabetesWellbeing #Schülke
