Together with The National Schools Partnership, Pfizer has created a set of free educational resources designed to provide information about the global health challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the role of vaccines for pupils from age 5 to 14 years. These curriculum linked resources also explore practical ways to prevent the spread of infection and tackle the inappropriate use of antibiotics.

Aimed at 7 to 8 and 13 to 14 year olds, these resources exist to demystify the making of a medicine, inviting students to learn about medicine development, the role of the pharmaceutical industry and the range of career opportunities that exist within the life sciences. These materials are usually delivered in classrooms by our STEM/ SIP Ambassadors, but they have adapted the resources to be applicable for home-learning, creating virtual puzzles & e-learning modules.
