My Interview
-
Tell us about your work on antimicrobial resistance?
I lead on the development of National antibiotic guidance for GPs, the TARGET antibiotic resources and the school e-Bug resources
How does your work make things better for patients?
We have developed a leaflet for GP staff to share with patients about antibiotic use, and also hope the guidance helps to optimise the treatment of infections for patients
What are the best 3 things you've seen in Primary Healthcare to combat antimicrobial resistance?
Localisation of the TARGET leaflet into a tear off A5 format is really useful. The When should I Worry booklet for parents and carers of young children is excellent. The Listen to Your Gut campaign in Devon is fun and has reduced antibiotic use in the area.
