More about this course

The course will lead you through the principles underlying these therapies, how to determine their suitability, and key practices for prescribers.
  • This course -by experts from the British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy- is for healthcare workers who prescribe and administer antibiotics. It explores the benefits and barriers of IVOST and complex oral antimicrobial therapy in the context of an OPAT service.
