Abstract
The poster delineates the integral role of antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) in combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR), emphasising research conducted by the University of Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. It underscores a comprehensive approach involving core strategies, performance indicators, and quality improvement projects essential for effective AMS implementation. The findings highlight the urgency of being responsible stewards of antibiotics to preserve their efficacy and protect patients from the growing threat of AMR. The research is recognised by leading health authorities, reflecting its significant impact on public health policy and practices aimed at curbing antibiotic misuse and enhancing global health outcomes.
