By the end of the session, the attendees will be able to:
- Identify common knowledge gaps and misconceptions about cystitis and UTIs among the general public.
- Recognise specific demographics—such as age groups and gender—that show lower awareness of UTI causes, symptoms, and prevention.
- Understand how antibiotic overuse, often driven by public misunderstanding, contributes to the growing challenge of antibiotic resistance.
- Appreciate the importance of public education, particularly for younger generations, in preventing infections and curbing resistance.
- Explore practical strategies for effectively communicating key UTI information to the public, including leveraging social media and other modern outreach channels.
This e-course provides both the scientific insight and practical tools to enhance public understanding, helping healthcare professionals contribute to infection prevention and responsible antibiotic use.
