Fantastic 3 days at @FISConf @HISConf. Today's highlights were rapid WGS in Brighton to find/confirm/refute outbreaks, an excellent session on standards of care for NTMs, and a great tropical infection grand round.

An early heads up that we hope to appoint a direct entry STP in microbiology in Sept 2025. Come and work with our amazing team.

We're back at @FISConf today. The Liver Building was lit up in blue for #WAAW2024 World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week!

Also, Claire, one of our amazing Biomedical Scientists had made some awesome WAAW cakes! 😋

Did you know most respiratory infections are caused by viruses – #antibiotics are not required in these cases.

#Diagnostics can help guide doctors in choosing the right treatment.

Clinical Scientist, and HSST, Paul audited the large increase in beta-D-glucan requests since COVID pandemic. Reasons for increasing testing complex but are largely unrelated to antifungal stewardship.
