Using antimicrobials wisely and well is an essential element of good clinical practice. General guidelines are useful but practitioners are often looking for more specific information relevant to their clinical cases – knowing what is appropriate to use in different disorders and, just as importantly, when antimicrobials are not indicated. This one day course at the RVC, to be held on European Antimicrobial Awareness Day, will be delivered by a team of expert clinicians with particular interest and expertise in antimicrobial use in their field.
