Antibiotic Stewardship: The Role of Audits in Shaping Past Successes and Future Strategies

This hybrid CPD training examines how audit design, data quality, and feedback loops drive measurable improvements in antimicrobial use. Facilitated by two experienced resource persons, the session will unpack practical lessons from past antibiotic-use audits and showcase how seven participating Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries approach stewardship across hospital and primary care settings. Expect a highly interactive agenda featuring brief talks, case walkthroughs, and audience polling—focused on pragmatic actions pharmacists, dispensers, and prescribers can implement immediately to optimise therapy, reduce resistance pressure, and improve patient outcomes.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

i. Translate evidence into practice: Convert real audit findings into specific actions for formulary, prescribing, and dispensing.

ii. Strengthen AMS governance: Clarify roles, responsibilities, metrics, and escalation pathways that make stewardship stick.

iii. Improve audit quality: Learn sampling, indicator selection, and feedback methods that change behaviour—not just numbers.

 iv. Benchmark across SSA: Compare approaches from seven SSA countries to identify adaptable, resource-appropriate strategies.

 v. Earn accredited CPD: Secure recognised credits while building a portfolio of audit tools and templates you can reuse.

 vi. Network and problem-solve: Engage with peers and faculty on practical barriers—data capture, prescriber engagement, and sustainability.
