The APC has agreed to adopt the NICE/PHE Summary of antimicrobial prescribing guidance - managing common infections. The Summary is a rapid reference containing recommendations around antimicrobial prescribing for a range of different infections and is updated at least quarterly. The Summary is currently hosted on the BNF.org website at the following link:
BNF hosts antimicrobial summary guidance on behalf of NICE and PHE - BNF Publications
Local supporting guidance has been developed and is intended to be used in conjunction with the NICE/PHE summary of antimicrobial prescribing guidance, to provide any additional information to clinicians supplementary to that which is already included in the NICE summary.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and other collaborators are discussing options for continued production of the Summary of antimicrobial prescribing guidance (previously hosted by BNF Publications). The above link goes to the TARGET antibiotic toolkit. In the interim they have produced a list of the conditions in the table linked to available national guidance.
They have also included a condensed version of the table summary that includes infections covered by NICE antimicrobial prescribing guideline.
