Vets and human health professionals both have a responsibility to address the challenge of antimicrobial stewardship. Veterinary surgeons, pharmacists and nurses need the skills to prescribe antibiotics rationally and responsibly.
On this 3-week course led by UK veterinary schools, you’ll challenge the norms of veterinary prescribing and gain the tools needed to introduce good antimicrobial stewardship practices in your own context. You’ll explore the challenges of monitoring responsible medicine use and gain the confidence needed to instil change in your own veterinary practice.

Veterinary prescribing behaviour, antimicrobial use and AMR: external
influences and internal motivations
Species-specific challenges to good antimicrobial stewardship
Clinical governance and monitoring antimicrobial prescribing patterns
Evidence-based veterinary medicine and best-practice prescribing

This course is for veterinary surgeons, nurses and pharmacists with a basic clinical knowledge of antimicrobial prescribing practice. The course has a focus on the UK context but can be applied internationally.
