Members of RuBICoN continue to tackle antibiotic resistance

Since closing in April 2017, members of the Respiratory Infections HIT have continued to do work that seeks to provide advice and support for parents and patients, and to reduce antibiotic use in the treatment of respiratory infections.

A number of recent studies have been published. Find out more in the links below:

• Local real-time surveillance of infectious disease could improve antibiotic prescribing
• New study to help improve antibiotic prescribing in out-of-hours service
• Antibiotic resistance in children’s E-coli is high when commonly prescribed antibiotics are used
• Surgeries employing GPs with additional training in complementary medicine appear less likely to prescribe antibiotics
