Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS)

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most urgent challenges facing healthcare in Australia, with overuse and misuse of antimicrobials driving rising rates of resistance. Are you confident in your ability to recognise when antimicrobial therapy is appropriate and how to apply evidence-based stewardship principles in practice?

This Ausmed Course equips healthcare professionals with the knowledge and strategies to implement the Antimicrobial Stewardship Clinical Care Standard, covering core concepts, patterns of antimicrobial use and the risks of inappropriate prescribing. Through case scenarios, it demonstrates how to optimise outcomes, minimise harms and preserve antimicrobial effectiveness using evidence-based approaches aligned with the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care.
