Antimicrobial stewardship in Australian health care

This is a comprehensive excellent antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) resource, a book available in downloadable PDF format with lots of good illustrative figures, tables, case histories and references to activities/resources for Australian clinicians but also of some relevance to those outside Australia.Produced in collaboration with a range of reputable stakeholders in Australia it represents an invaluable resource that encompasses evidence and extensive experience of developing, delivering and measuring stewardship practice across the Australian healthcare systems.Relatively few available AMS resources encompass the One Health system approach and this is a commendable aspect of this resource.The book contains just about most things you would need to deliver AMS but I was particularly struck by coverage given to roles of nurses and infection prevention practitioners, how business cases can be built (often a challenge for busy clinicians), how to engage consumers and tackle conflicts of interest and relationships with pharma.The material covered tries to align community practice with hospital practice giving a more seamless approach to AMS.All of this is supported with pragmatic case studies, audits and so on.The
