Stewardship is everybody's business. Privileged to introduce @Sue_Bowler4 and @shumimate at #IP2024Conf sharing their experiences working as specialist AMS nurses and exploring the broader nursing contribution to antimicrobial stewardship.
Thank you everyone for your support this week to raise awareness for #WAAW2023 - @NikalaJane, @ajosephnotts, @AnnetteClarks10, City vaccination staff, ED, sepsis, IPC, pharmacist, micro and laboratory colleagues, all working together to #KeepAntibioticsWorking

Sepsis, AMS and IPC nurses have been out on the wards asking our nurses that question and supporting them to use the #IVOS tool to #KeepAntibioticsWorking.
Under 3 hours for our 2nd International Nursing Summit on Antimicrobial Stewardship with a great panel of nat/intl nursing leaders in clinical, research, education #AMS#nursing#WAAW2023@Bruneluni
A new look for the trolley today by @NikalaJane and @mrs_eleff to optimise diagnostics, by improving the pre-analytical blood culture pathway. 4x 10ml blood 🩸collected and loaded within 4 hours saves lives. #WAAW2023
Today for #WAAW23 our City vaccination hub see’s the return of the pledge hedge and promotion of #AntibioticGuardian. Flu and COVID vaccines not only prevent viral infections 🦠 but also ⬇️ the likelihood of secondary bacterial infections, so reduce antibiotic use 💊
Ahead of #WAAW2023 we @DrDianeAshiru would like to share our Nursing Times article on the role of the nurse in IV-to-oral switch of antibiotics. “A proactive approach to IVOS benefits our patients, our NHS, our planet and nurses too”. https://t.co/x3RUfsxSDG
Micro March is in full swing on AMRA. The whole team are pushing to increase the areas blood culture fill volume to the gold standard. This is going to have huge benefits to our patients . Well done team AMRA. @TeamNUH @NUHDREEAM@mrs_eleff @ajosephnotts @Sue_Bowler4@IPCT_NUH
A huge thank you to Amy York. She has been the driving force behind F22s success of podding specimen samples to the lab, rather than using urgent Porter requests when not needed. She has informed all drs to send Blood cultures via the pod @recogniserescue @ajosephnotts @F22Ward
Thank you to the amazing @Haztab1 the new blood culture video is now being shown in all HCOP mandatory training. @recogniserescue@Sue_Bowler4 @ajosephnotts
