Antimicrobial Stewardship
FIP Development Goal 17 Education & Workforce Element
Globally, we will have:
Strategies and systems in place to develop a pharmaceutical workforce prepared to deliver quality services for antimicrobial stewardship.
Mechanisms
- Enable the workforce to acquire knowledge and skills necessary in initial education (FIP Development Goal 1 [w]), early career training (FIP Development Goal 2 [w]) and continuing professional development (FIP Development Goal 9 [w]).
- Identify competencies needed for antimicrobial stewardship services delivery and incorporate them in competency frameworks and advanced/specialist development (FIP Development Goals 4 & 5 [w]).
FIP Development Goal 17 Practice Element
Globally, we will have:
Infrastructures and frameworks in place to deliver services for antimicrobial stewardship.
Mechanisms
- Develop and implement systems and structures to deliver antimicrobial stewardship services as a coordinated programme that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials, improves patient outcomes and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
- Utilise and assess data and metrics to improve and optimise antimicrobial stewardship services.
- Advocate for and support the responsible use of antimicrobials.
FIP Development Goal 17 Science Element
Globally, we will have:
Promote research and development of new antimicrobials, new antimicrobial combinations and new techniques and evaluate the impact of antibiotic stewardship programmes.
Mechanisms
- Promote strategies mitigating antimicrobial resistance in community- and hospital-acquired infections and in the use of antibiotics in livestock production and agriculture.
- Report research data underlining the relevance and impact of antibiotic stewardship programmes.
- Raise awareness of powerful pharmaceutical sciences technologies such as bioinformatics and quantitative systems pharmacology to identify novel combinatorial therapies.
