Antibiotic stewardship: volume of antibiotic prescribing by practices in NHS FRIMLEY

Why it matters: Antibiotics play a critical role in modern medicines, as both a treatment of common infections and for the prevention of infections, for example in patients undergoing surgery or chemotherapy. Antimicrobial resistance therefore poses a significant threat to public health. To help slow the development of resistance it is important that antiobiotics aren't overused.

Description: Prescription items for all oral antibacterial drugs (excluding antituberculosis drugs and antileprotic drugs) per 1000 patients
