Abstract

The environmental impact of the inappropriate use of antimicrobials and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is recognised by global organisations such as the World Health Organisation and the European Union. Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is one strategy to promote appropriate use of antimicrobials to minimise AMR and is a priority for the NHS to ensure sustainable prescribing. To support this, national consensus-based competencies for teaching AMS to undergraduate healthcare professionals in the UK were launched in 2018. This presentation aims to describes our approach to tailor these AMS competencies to enable the development of a UK-wide competency framework specifically for student pharmacists.
