Challenging the 'reflex' 7 day course of ABx, remember to review and IVOST!!

It's MDT Tuesday of World Antibiotic Awareness Week. Everyone can be an antimicrobial steward. Everyone involved in prescribing, dispensing and administering antimicrobials has a part to play to reduce antimicrobial resistance. Think about IVOST bit.ly/30pLeLT #WAAW

Ward 20 loves to IVOST #pvcawareness18 NHS Lanarkshire @MonklandsHosp

IV antibiotic administration is time consuming, generates plastic waste & contributes to catheter-related infections. Save nursing time by reviewing IV course durations or even better go oral (if appropriate). Support your colleagues, catheter removal and the climate! #WAAW#IVOST
