Stopping sooner: a safe way to reduce antibiotic overuse in hospitalised patients? Tuesday 1st May 2018 1:30 pm LT6, Hick’s Building |
Antibiotic overprescribing is driving antibiotic resistance in the NHS. Hospital doctors are told to ‘Start Smart then Focus’ but in reality the vast majority of antibiotic prescriptions started in hospital are continued to complete a ‘course’. Lack of evidence, lack of knowledge, prescriber behaviour and patient perceptions result in a ‘continue unless stop is justified’ approach. In my talk, I will present the work of the Antibiotic Review Kit (ARK) - Hospital project which aims to safely reduce antibiotic overuse by supporting a ‘stop of justify continue’ approach to antibiotic prescribing
