Antibiotics, Antimicrobial Resistance and Stewardship: Care Workers

Antibiotics and other antimicrobials help treat infections and save lives, but when they’re overused or misused, they can stop working properly. This Ausmed Training Module explores the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance and the vital role care workers play in preventing it through antimicrobial stewardship. Learn how to recognise signs of infection, support safe antimicrobial use, and reduce the spread of illness through everyday actions like hand hygiene and standard precautions. Empower yourself to protect older people and the wider community to help keep antibiotics effective for the future.

Healthcare professionals, healthcare workers and ancillary staff working with older adults.
