About
Combating Antibiotic Resistance: Guidelines for Rational Antibiotic Use
Course Introduction
About this course
The course aims to contribute to the global effort in combating antibiotic resistance by promoting rational antibiotic use. By empowering healthcare professionals, it seeks to improve patient outcomes, reduce the emergence of resistant bacteria, and preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics for future generations.
Antibiotic resistance is one of the most pressing global health challenges of our time — driven by overprescription, environmental factors, and gaps in stewardship that demand structured, multidisciplinary responses.
This course covers the principles and practical strategies of rational antibiotic use — covering resistance mechanisms, prescribing frameworks, stewardship programmes, and the prescriber behaviours that drive sustained change.
🎯 Built for clinical readiness. Concise, structured, and skill-focused — designed to translate directly into safer, more confident clinical practice.
