| Abstract: | A poster presentation regarding the perception of medical practitioners on antibiotic prescribing by pharmacists. Introduction: Antibiotic prescribing is a multi-stage process which requires knowledge of pathogen characteristics as well as patient and drug characteristics.Optimising antimicrobial use through appropriate selection, driven by a multidisciplinary team, improves patient safety by achieving a desired clinical outcome, reducing harm to patients and decreasing potential for selection of resistant strains of pathogens. Collaboration between medical practitioners and pharmacists, each with their respective expertise, can lead to major improvements in patient care. Aims: To assess prescribing practices by physicians and to describe their perception on competencies of pharmacist prescribing and risks associated by such prescribing. |
