ph- 03 51546777Hi,
We have one that we use for our antimicrobial stewardship program (Green freely prescribable; Yellow computer approval; Red call ID). We like to joke about Red that “if you can’t spell it, you can’t have it” as it includes the mostly unfamiliar antibiotics. Our junior staff say that Yellow is “all the good stuff”.
If anyone would like it as a PDF then I am happy to send it.

Hi,
Can anyone direct me to the “traffic light” chart used for prescribing antimicrobials. I have one from the UK but would prefer one from Australia.

Hi Beth,
I would like to learn more about MRO clearance.
I have one day allocated to Infection Prevention and Control in a small
rural hospital in Victoria.
We are seeing more MRO’s- MRSA, NMRSA, multi resistant pseudomonas more
commonly lately.
I am interested in anything that you are able to share please.
