Many of the people that contact our Patient Support Service want extra information. This could be about their illness, infections in general or various treatments. Some people find the information available online difficult to understand, or struggle to take in everything their doctor has told them.

We’ve created a range of resources to provide additional information on all aspects living with an antibiotic-resistant infection. If you think something is missing or need any extra support, you can contact our Patient Support Service. Otherwise, have a look at the various resources we offer below.

You can view or download a PDF version of any of our leaflets to print at home.

• Patient Support Service leaflet (PDF), highlighting the different ways we can support you.
• Antibiotic-resistant infections: are you at risk? PDF is simple information about difficult-to-treat infections that is relevant to everyone, whether you have an infection or not.
