It ensures that rather than only reciting absorbing content, student gain necessary skills behaviours to apply knowledge effectively clinical practice. particularly...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia is an infection associated with a high mortality rate. Piperacillin-tazobactam β-lactam–β-lactamase inhibitor combination that frequently used for the management of infections. The pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic index in vitro maximal bacterial killing piperacillin-tazobactam percentage time between doses at which free fraction concentration remains above MIC (% fT >MIC ).

The role of General Practice Clinical Pharmacists is becoming more clinically complex. Some are undertaking courses to develop their skillsets.To explore potential behavioural determinants influencing the implementation skills gained from Advanced Examination and Assessment by Pharmacists.This study used a qualitative methodology with theoretical underpinning. in Scottish National Health Service, having completed an course, were invited for online dyadic (paired) interviews. Informed written...
Antimicrobial stewardship programmes describe strategies to optimize antimicrobial prescribing and utilization, minimize resistance improve patient outcomes. Strategies in hospitals are usually implemented by multidisciplinary teams (AMTs). The objective of this study was the profile activities AMTs within United Kingdom (UK).All UK (n = 836) were included, a prepiloted questionnaire mailed 'Director Pharmacy'.
