One System, One Source: Closing the Stewardship Gap Between Primary and Secondary Care

Antimicrobial stewardship doesn't start or stop at the hospital door. Patients move between GP practices, community pharmacies, urgent care and hospital wards, and so do the clinicians who treat them. Yet primary and secondary care guidance often lives in separate places, uses different formats and drifts out of step. That leaves prescribers unsure which advice applies and makes stewardship harder to deliver across a system.

In this session, antimicrobial stewardship leads from ICBs and integrated systems share how they've brought antimicrobial guidance into one place on Eolas, so every clinician has the same up to date advice on mobile and desktop, whatever the setting.

They'll cover:

• How they built a single source of antimicrobial guidance used by both primary and secondary care, and how they keep it aligned when national advice changes
• How they reached GPs, practice nurses, community pharmacists, locums and rotating hospital doctors
• How they use Eolas analytics to see which guidance clinicians open and search for in each setting, and how they act on the knowledge gaps that reveals
• How guideline engagement links to the prescribing measures systems are accountable for, such as five day courses and antibiotic use in children

You'll leave with a practical model for joining up stewardship across your own system.

Who it's for: ICB medicines optimisation and antimicrobial stewardship teams, primary care prescribing leads, GP and community pharmacy clinical leads, and hospital antimicrobial stewardship teams working across their local system.
