The disruption caused by Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on antimicrobial stewardship programmes (ASP) has been acknowledged and recognised.1 This study uses a theoretical qualitative approach to understand the impact of COVID-19 on ASP implementation in United Arab Emirates (UAE) hospitals. Semi-structured online interviews supported by an interview schedule. Participants were ASP team members and other healthcare practitioners in UAE hospitals. Despite the initial disruption of ASP implementation during the peak of the pandemic, the subsequent successful integration of ASP infrastructure, process and personnel to contribute to dealing with the pandemic reflects the high value and well established roles of ASP in UAE hospitals.
