We are looking forward to talking about PEN-FAST at our induction talk tomorrow, it’s so important that every patient @WalsallHcareNHS self reporting a penicillin allergy should have a PEN-FAST score so we can open up treatment options #penicillinallergy

We ask that every patient @WalsallHcareNHS is asked about their penicillin allergies and are assigned a PEN-FAST score so we can open up the best antibiotic treatment options @AidenJPlant1 @KiranBh05711467 #antimicrobialstewardship

@TakaMatsuo_ID @CIDJournal @MayoClinicINFD Great study - confirms our practice... we aim to start RIF for all (sensitive) staphylococcal PJI asap after debridement. Our choice companion drug is DOXY! @AidenJPlant1 @BugWmh

Is IV Clarithromycin better than oral? A question asked while on micro rounds, a great chance to dispel a myth: 💊It is highly lipophilic resulting in excellent tissue penetration irrespective of route 💊It has 20 x greater concn in pulmonary epithelial tissues than in serum

A highly valuable intervention which also included prompting TWOC & promoting indwelling device care. At the end of #WAAW I pledge that @IPCWalsall will be regularly present at antibiotic time outs as part of the MDT, actively influencing #IPC in person centred care

At the end of #WAAW we were joined by @LisaRuthCarroll and @IPC_Amy reviewing every patient on an antibiotic on Ward 9&10 on “time out” ward round, we ✅ reviewed cultures and sensitivities ✅ checked it’s the right antibiotic ✅ IV to PO switch ✅ stopped and escalated abx
