A DEVON public health campaign that helps parents care for their children when they have minor illnesses like common coughs and colds, without the unnecessary use of antibiotics, has been shortlisted for a national award.
The Listen To Your Gut campaign, led by Devon County Council (DCC), the Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust (NDHT) and the Northern, Eastern and Western Devon Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), is a finalist in the inaugural Antibiotic Guardian Awards.
The awards celebrate those who have done the most to tackle the growing issue of antibiotic resistance...
East Devon District Council is committed to taking up the opportunities offered by the Sustainable Communities Act.
Although councils do not have a legal duty to support the Act, EDDC has chosen to do so, as it did in 2009, and it is now looking for residents’ help in putting forward proposals for action to central Government.
The Sustainable Communities Act aims to divert power and funding from central government and passes it to councils and local people, giving them a new opportunity to improve their local communities.
