Primary Outcome(s)
|
1. Changes in the prescribing habits of general medical and general dental practitioners resulting in:
1.1 A reduction in the overall prescription of antibiotics.
1.2 A reduction in the unnecessary prescription of broad-spectrum antibiotics which contribute to the increase in
microbial resistance evident in the community.
1.3 Cost savings.
1.4 An indirect reduction of morbidity and mortality associated with anti-microbial resistant organisms.
2. A rationale for antibiotic prescribing
