Consultation on antimicrobial stewardship

NICE is holding a consultation on its draft guidance to change public behaviour to combat antimicrobial resistance. The draft guidance states that more must be done to improve public hygiene standards in order to reduce rates of infection, subsequently lowering the demand for antibiotics to be prescribed. Recommendations include handwashing and food preparation education. To read and comment on the document, visit the NICE website.
