Practical approaches to AMS in human medical practice

In this video, Neil Powell describes how antimicrobial stewardship has been implemented in his local context as a human medical practitioner in the Royal Cornwall NHS Trust.

He is asked the following questions:

1. What measures have you introduced to improve antimicrobial stewardship in the hospital setting?
2. What role can diagnostics play in improving antimicrobial stewardship?
3. Do you have any tips for primary care practitioners on responsible prescribing?
4. Are there any decision support tools for primary care practitioners?

In the video, Neil reflects on the challenges he previously mentioned in step 1.17, and provides some potential solutions that have been used in human medicine. Use the comments section to discuss what is different between what Neil has said, and what you know about veterinary medicine.
