I have just obtained the Health Education England (HEE) ‘Antimicrobial Stewardship for Community Pharmacy’ certificate. I’m happy to report!

This was an excellent online course provided by HEE and covered aspects such as appropriate antibiotic use in relation to current United Kingdom guidelines, how support materials in the pharmacy may aid in effective antibiotic use and how the patient may be supported to the full in terms of antibiotic supply.

I would highly recommend anyone working in the healthcare sector to undertake this training, it has been of great benefit to me in understanding the current landscape in this particular space. It is directly applicable to the fields of Locum Pharmacy and Medical Education.
