April 10, 2009 by admin
Preventive strategies, good nursing care, appropriate antibiotic prescribing, hospital cleanliness and hand hygiene, fundamental organisational change, and new therapies, were all highlighted at the recent “Bugs and Drugs” ANP conference, held in London in February. Everything from what crocodiles can do for human medicine to how to support organizational change was covered in the talks and a workshop explored some of the trickier issues surrounding antibiotic and other prescribing.
