HAPPY PATIENT

▪️ The current misleading antibiotics prescription in many European countries is one of the biggest threats to western societies. 🔹 Up to 25,000 people die every year in Europe as a direct consequence of the misuse of antibiotics, a figure that rises up to 30,000 in the United States (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control). ▪️ The 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗬 𝗣𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧 project is a 3 year Project co-funded by the 3rd Health Programme of the European Union under the Grant Agreement number: 900024. 🔹 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗬 𝗣𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧 seeks to reduce the impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by decreasing the inappropriate use of antimicrobials for the management of common community-acquired infection. ▪️ 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗬 𝗣𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧 builds upon evidence and proposes an innovative patient-centred approach. The patient-centred strategy implies the involvement of all health care-providers acting as main point of contact for the management of community-acquired infections. It means the project will include HCPs working in general practice, OOH services, dentists, nursing homes and community pharmacies. This will be implemented in 5 Target Countries (Spain, France, Lithuania, Poland and Greece) with diverse health systems, incomes and level of antimicrobial medicines consumption. ⚫️ 🔵 The 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗬 𝗣𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧 consortium contains a wide diversity of geographical and professional coverage throughout the EU. 📌 This project is supported by the EU Third Health Program (2014-2020) - project ID 900024.
