Updates to Trust antibiotic guidelines for Respiratory Tract Infections

September 20, 2018

Please be aware that there have been a number of changes to the trust antibiotic guidelines for respiratory tract infections which can be found here (https://connect2.swbh.nhs.uk/pharmacy/antibiotic-guidelines/respiratory-tract-infections/) and on Microguide.

These changes have been made following consultation with the respiratory team, pharmacy and microbiology and reflect new evidence, align our guidelines with national recommendations and help to comply with the requirements for antibiotic stewardship and our trust CQUIN target.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact Conor Jamieson, Pharmacy Team Leader – Antimicrobial Therapy (conor.jamieson@nhs.net) or Dr Mark Li, Consultant Microbiologist – Antibiotic Lead (mark.li@nhs.net).
