Do you trust your doctors and pharmacists to give you the right advice about antibiotics? Episode 3 takes us inside the healthcare system to tackle the problem of overprescription. We investigate trust in the practitioner-patient relationship and what happens when that trust is broken - particularly for our vulnerable populations. We look at ways to rebuild it, including social media, working with communities and listening to patients' lived experiences. We ask, who is responsible for the incorrect antibiotic use that contributes to the rise of superbugs? We find that responsibility is shared and requires empowerment rather than blame.
