Baltic Research Institute Raising Awareness of Antimicrobial Resistance

Holly, Utieyin, and Thomas from the Baltic Research Institute delivered an engaging workshop during British Science Week to inspire future medics, dentists, and vets from Year 10.

The hands-on activities raised awareness of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the responsible use of antibiotics. Students learnt how easily pathogens spread using germ-simulating hand gel and explored the importance of hand hygiene.

A creative activity with coloured orbeez demonstrated how antibiotic resistance builds within bacterial populations, emphasising the need to complete antibiotic treatment courses.

Finally, a lively game of dodgeball illustrated how missing doses can leave resistant bacteria behind. The students loved the interactive sessions and left with a deeper understanding of AMR.
