Course details

More about this course
  • This three-week fungal diagnostics course is aimed at educating healthcare professionals to a greater degree on the understanding and role of fungal diagnostics to guide treatment decisions.
  • You'll decipher what makes a "good" fungal diagnostic test and will get behind the science of these tests.
  • You'll improve suspicion and early diagnosis of invasive fungal infections by highlighting a wide range of diagnostic techniques and methodologies. You'll then get to grips with the use of diagnostics in driving treatment introduction.
  • You'll reflect on individual cases presented - such as cases from intensive care or haematology-oncology - and will ultimately be able to suspect opportunistic invasive fungal infections.
  • You'll then explore clinical signs, symptoms and risk factors to diagnose the presence of an invasive fungal infection, and will apply appropriate diagnostic & radiological tests to confirm the type of infection using real world case studies.
  • You'll round off by discussing the role of guidelines and protocols, and how to implement behavioural change within an organization to incorporate a diagnostic driven approach.
  • Throughout the duration of the course you'll be learning from epidemiological experts from the British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (BSAC), an inter-professional organization with over 40 years of experience and achievement in antibiotic education, research and leadership.
