Episode 166: World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week: pediatric AMR
For this episode of Microbe Talk Clare is joined by Dr Sanjay Patel, a paediatric infectious disease and immunology consultant at Southampton Children's Hospital and the National Clinical Advisor for Paediatric Antimicrobial Stewardship at NHS England. Clare and Sanjay discuss paediatric AMR, why it's often overlooked and how Sanjay and his colleagues from clinical, research and policy backgrounds are taking action. If you'd like to learn more about research into antimicrobial resistance in neonates, take a look at this paper in Journal of Medical Microbiology.You can find details of how to get involved with Knocking Out AMR here.The resources and initiatives Sanjay mentioned are below:
National empirical antimicrobial guidelines
The common infection clinical pathways, the IV to oral switch decision aid
The common infection paediatric pathways
