Antibiotic Conservation
Aotearoa
We are a dedicated group of researchers passionate about promoting responsible antibiotic use that benefits our whānau.
Antibiotics can save lives, but they can also have side effects and contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance. When antibiotics become ineffective against the bacteria causing infections, it's known as antibiotic resistance.
By avoiding unnecessary antibiotic use, we can avoid side effects and help prevent bacteria from becoming resistant to antibiotics. This will help preserve their effectiveness for you, your whānau, and your community.
Aim to reduce antibiotic prescribing for upper respiratory tract infection by 8% and reduce antimicrobial resistance.
Promote patient education and antibiotic awareness to improve health outcomes.
Evidence-based intervention to support GPs to provide excellent care for their patients.
