Assign clear ownership for each element of antimicrobial resistance control across the functions involved.
Planning Institutional Antimicrobial Resistance Control
Turn antimicrobial resistance control from a stated policy into a practice your organisation can evidence.
Course Overview
Cost pressure and quality expectations on antimicrobial resistance control are rising at the same time. Accreditation bodies assess the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda on documented evidence of consistent practice. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services and revise it on evidence. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make antimicrobial resistance control hard in practice. Buying a tool rarely fixes the health and pharmaceutical services capability; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Mature organisations treat the health and pharmaceutical services discipline as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. It suits anyone whose decisions touch antimicrobial resistance control, in large organisations and small ones alike. The course sets out a working method for this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services that participants can apply the week they return. Participants leave with a plan for this area of health and pharmaceutical services sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
