After the program, please provide feedback at

3 Learning objectives To understand the state of antibiotic resistance and local antibiotic use patterns To understand treatment of common community-acquired syndromes To become stewards of antimicrobials

4 MCQ Most antimicrobials are used in: a) Hospital b) Community c) Long-term Care

5 MCQ 2 What % of antibiotics are used unnecessarily? a) 10% b) 30% c) 60% d) 90%

6 pewtrusts.org 1 in 3 prescriptions unnecessary

7 Resistant microorganisms are expensive BSAC 2018

8 MCQ How common are antibiotic side-effects? a) 5% b) 20% c) 40% d) 60%

9 Answer 20%

10 Surveillance Infection prevention and control Antimicrobial Stewardship Research and innovation

11 ANTIBIOTIC USE PATTERNS
