Standard 3 Antibiotic Stewardship

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone,

I am working on the completion of standard 3 at the moment and would like
some advise on Antibiotic Stewardship for Ophthalmic Day Surgical
Facilities. We are a stand alone facility and predominantly perform
Cataract surgery. Antibiotic prophylaxis for Ophthalmic surgery includes
intra-cameral cephazolin for intraocular ophthalmic surgery and for lids
chloramphenicol ointment.

I would like to know how other facilities have dealt with antibiotic
stewardship and how pre and post operative antibiotics been included as
well. If you have ideas or advice to share I would appreciate hearing them.

Kind regards

Hi Jenny
We have a number of standing orders for cataract surgery. One of our Registrars is currently developing an app for ophthalmic drugs
Our accreditation was last month and we did not receive any recommendations for Standard 3 – we met all the core and developmental actions

I am happy to put you in touch with our chief pharmacist

Thanks
