Antimicrobial Stewardship Microlearning Videos

The HSE AMRIC antimicrobial stewardship microlearning videos aim to provide bite-size learning that can be easily integrated into community pharmacists’ working day. The videos are all less than 10 minutes duration and are available via YouTube link, allowing single click access to CPD content for flexible and quick learning.

HSE AMRIC have developed these in collaboration with McCauley pharmacy group and tested the concept in a small group of community pharmacists. Feedback was very positive with community pharmacists rating the videos extremely useful (75%) or useful (25%). 100% of survey respondents said they would recommend to a colleague (n=8). 

Here is what some of the survey respondents had to say: 

I have a patient on long term macrodantin so have now flagged it with the GP that it needs to be looked at with the possibility of deprescribing” 

The examples give you confidence and ideas on approaching prescribers”
