title: Are the public getting the message about antimicrobial resistance?
abstract: Raising public awareness of the need to use antibiotics appropriately is a major focus of the UK Government's strategy to tackle antimicrobial resistance. To investigate the public's views on antibiotic use and resistance we conducted a survey of 120 people as part of patient engagement activities held at University College London Hospital in June 2015.
