Followed swiftly and expertly by @DrAbiJenks at #IP2024Conf delivering a Masterclass on the subject of antibiotic IV-to-oral switch and why it's a win-win for patients, health professionals, NHS carbon footprint and public health.

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.

Amazing day yesterday at BSAC winter conference, catching up with fellow AMS nurses, sharing our poster and listening to inspirational speakers.

Thank you #nuh_infection team for your visit to Lister 2( respiratory).

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

Think! Could your patients be switched from IV to PO Antibiotics. We 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

@castrocloud Looks good!

@Sue_Bowler4 Thank you! Would this be ok?

Our trolley is ready to take to the wards and promote the role of the nurse in IV 💉to oral 💊switch. #KeepAntibioticsWorking

@castrocloud Yes that’s fine!

@Sue_Bowler4 Could I use the picture, with attribution, for a talk in 52mins 🤣?

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 💊

Great interest in the room after @nottmhospitals Blood Culture Improvement team present the amazing work & success seen over the last few yrs for patient @ajosephnotts @recogniserescue @NUHDREEAM @NUH_AcuteMed @sue_bowler4 @MelvinWar2004 @UKSepsisTrust @mrs_eleff @UKsepsisnurses

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”. nursingtimes.net/opinion/nurses…

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

👏👏👏 Congratulations to Matthew from @1_d56 who is the winner of our gentamicin quiz for World Antimicrobial Awareness Week #AntibioticGuardian

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

Thanks to all the wards that participated in our penicillin allergy game for #WorldAntimicrobialAwarenessWeek Great discussions about consequences of inaccurate penicillin allergy labels and impact on patient outcomes #WAAW #AntibioticGuardian
