Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) Out of Hours

The aim of this evidence-based elearning programme on Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) Out of Hours is to help prescribing healthcare professionals optimise how they communicate with patients presenting with common infections.  

The programme draws on data collected for the OPEN project, using illustrative examples from recordings of real out of hours clinical assessments, including advice calls, primary care centre appointments and home visits.  

All of the sessions have benefited from review with multiple stakeholder groups and are focused on simple techniques that support positive stewardship practices.

This programme was originally located on the elfh hub and was first published on 16 March 2021. It migrated on to the Learning Hub on 30 May 2024.
