'Twas the night before audit, when all through the wards,
Bugs were still multiplying, no signs of a truce. Antibiotics were being prescribed, some with great care,
Not a clue that St.Eward soon would be there.
Patients were identified, the audit prepared,
With visions of guidelines that everyone shared.
The stewards scrubbed up, filled up with glee,
Ensuring well-charted prescriptions are what they should see. ☃️

Dr Rod James @rodsjam NAPS Program Director discussing the achievements of the NAPS program over the last 10 years.
In 2013 we were a single survey in Australia only. In 2023 we have over 2000 participating facilities, in 13 countries and almost 1 million data points!
Dr Courtney Ierano @courtierano
Incredible reach and broad applicability of NAPS across diverse practice settings with discussions with RFDS, HITH, family planning clinics, prisons, vets, dental clinics.
So much opportunity for future collaborations and expansion.
Ron Cheah @Ron_jch highlighting the transferability and generalizability of NAPS across 13 countries with very diverse levels of AMS readiness. Especially exciting is translation of NAPS for Portugal.
Most valued are assessment of appropriateness, benchmarking and reporting.
@NCAS_Aus@gabhaeusler Why does antibiotic misuse matter? At an individual level it can cause side effects and collectively it can cause resistance in the community the more individuals misuse antimicrobials. We need ongoing education in this space for correct use of antibiotics @gabhaeusler
@NCAS_Aus The most common misuse of antibiotics in children is the use against viruses. Many common infections in children can be prevented by vaccination - @gabhaeusler
@risca_AMS@livbadiv Closing on fantastic panel discussion on how we can support the appropriate use of antibiotics: the importance of language, need for better diagnostics to differentiate viral and bacterial infection, and empowering patients and pet owners with more knowledge on antimicrobial use.
