Programme Introduction
About this programme
💊 Pharmacy Practice
✅ Regulatory & Clinical
📋 Case-Based Learning
Antimicrobial Stewardship Programme Design teaches pharmacists, infectious disease physicians and infection prevention teams how to build, run and sustain a formal Antimicrobial Stewardship Programme (ASP) rather than only understand stewardship principles in the abstract. Inappropriate antimicrobial use drives resistance and healthcare-associated infections, which makes a well-structured ASP one of the highest-leverage patient-safety investments a facility can make.
The programme covers the core elements of an effective ASP, from appropriate antimicrobial selection, dosing, route and duration through to reviewing empirical versus targeted therapy and building audit-and-feedback loops with prescribers.
TerraLeap’s programme uses scenario-based learning around real prescribing decisions and stewardship interventions, so learners practise the audit conversations, feedback techniques and multidisciplinary collaboration an ASP depends on, not just the policy behind it.
By completion, learners can design, implement and sustain an ASP that satisfies infection prevention, quality improvement and accreditation requirements.
Clinical and regulatory expertise — built for real pharmacy practice.

Learning Objectives
What you will achieve
These objectives take learners from stewardship principles to leading a working programme.
Completion means being able to design and defend an ASP within a real healthcare facility.
01
Understand stewardship’s role in patient safety and resistance prevention.
02
Apply appropriate prescribing principles across common clinical scenarios.
03
Develop stewardship interventions tailored to facility-specific gaps.
04
Track use and resistance to measure whether interventions are working.

08
Meet accreditation requirements for a compliant, well-documented ASP.
Target Audience
Who can enroll
Antimicrobial Stewardship Programme Design is intended for pharmacists, infectious disease physicians and infection prevention and control teams who are building or running a stewardship programme at their facility.
Microbiologists, quality teams and prescribers who work alongside a stewardship committee will also gain the practical audit and engagement skills the programme is built around.
