“In December 2023, the National Centre for Antibiotic Use in Hospitals and the Antibiotic Centre for Primary Care held a Scandinavian webinar on the use of outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy. Mark Gilchrist, Professor of Pharmacy at Imperial College London, advised starting with recommendations for best practice if a national system for administering intravenous antibiotics at home is to be established. The UK’s recommendations can serve as a good starting point. A national standard for outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy should be utilised in combination with local teams that follow up patients.”
