Antimicrobial use is National priority
• Scottish Antimicrobial Prescribing Group
• Local Antimicrobial Management Team
• Healthcare Environment Inspectorate
Stewardship: Prudent Prescribing
• Is an antibiotic required?
– Only use when clearly indicated
• Document decision making Tx rationale clear
• Select appropriate agent from local antimicrobial policy
– Minimise risk to patient
• Prescribe optimal dosage for shortest duration
• Ask specialist/micro for advice if unsure
Firm Antimicrobial Stewardship
Role of the AMT – Primary care
• Link in with Primary Care Prescribing Advisers who monitor
prescribing using PRISMS
• Engage individual prescribers by feeding back meaningful
data to promote reflection & discussion in order to influence
future prescribing and promote compliance with policy
• Improve quality and reduce quantity of antimicrobial
prescribing
