Important piece of work that guides much of our OPAT practice in UK. It's also impressive in its acceptance of the evidence. Literally the guideline for use of IV antibiotics is advocating for use of oral antibiotics instead! 👏 #IDSky #ClinMicro #AMR #OPAT

We do quite a lot of antibiotic self administration in OPAT. Massive win if it can be achieved - lower requirements on hospital / community nurses & big autonomy win for the patients and their families. #OPAT #IDSky #ClinMicro

🩺🦠How well do #OPAT antimicrobials really hit PK-PD targets? Our UK prospective study shows good attainment across agents, while demonstrating the feasibility of #TDM to support #precisiondosing in outpatient infection care 🔗https://doi.org/10.1093/jac/dkaf484

9 patients in our #OPAT clinic today. That's 9 people who would otherwise have been in hospital for Christmas.

Everyone's getting a cracker. I haven't won a pull yet.

Sometimes patients bring gifts on their last day in the #OPAT clinic. A card, biscuits, something like that.

One patient made us pens.

OPAT saves money vs inpatient stay. Oral antibiotics clearly would be cheaper operationally, but not always an option #OPAT #IDSky #ClinMicro #AMR @jac-amr.bsky.social academic.oup.com/jacamr/artic...

Important study to know about if you run an #OPAT service! Standard PICC lines are fine. Key question remains: do you need to put / keep one in at all? #IDSky #ClinMicro

Potential delivery of some antibiotics too? Clearly there may be some significant issues with volume of fluid to be delivered subcutaneously! #OPAT #IDSky #clinmicro #AMR
