Why it’s important

Antimicrobial resistance is a threat to public health. Healthcare professionals, including antimicrobial stewardship teams, remain the front line of defence to safeguard antibiotics for the future. This session will equip teams with insight, support, and shared learning to tackle antimicrobial resistance and conserve antibiotics for all, including a detailed exploration of NHS England’s recently published prompt IVOS CQUIN.

  • Learn about new data dashboards and standard reports that can help in clinical practice.
  • Find out more about prompt Intravenous to Oral Switch (IVOS) and the NHS England CQUIN, including how it will benefit patients, health professionals, NHS Trusts and health systems.
