The Global Threat of Antimicrobial Resistance (Online Workshop)
December 28, 2020 2021-11-02 17:21The Global Threat of Antimicrobial Resistance (Online Workshop)
The Global Threat of Antimicrobial Resistance (Online Workshop)
Description
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as one of the top ten global public health threats to humanity along with communicable diseases, air pollution and flu pandemic, among others. AMR occurs when the medicines used to treat microbes, like bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites, have weakened or are no longer effective. The Department of Health (DOH) warned the public against the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials, including antibiotics, especially during this pandemic. DOH has also called on everyone to fight antimicrobial resistance.
This online course seeks to increase awareness on the impact of AMR on human health and communities and the prudent use of antimicrobials in hospitals by developing and implementing an effective Antibiotic Stewardship Program.
Target Participants
Multidisciplinary Health Workers (Doctors – ID specialists, Microbiologists, Pharmacists, Administrators, Internists, Intensivists, Surgeons, Quality & Safety Persons)
Structure
The aim is to provide planners and implementors an in-depth awareness in promoting prudent antibiotic use with basic knowledge and skills required to plan, conduct, and evaluate appropriate usage of antimicrobial use among patients admitted in healthcare institutions.
The course should encourage the participant’s experience as a starting point and build up from there, inserting core content blended with experience, and available resources as the course progresses. The training method would include didactic lectures, interactive presentations, group work and discussions, to make use of participant’s experiences and promote their active involvement. Case studies will be used to support the integration and application of knowledge acquired throughout the course. All teaching activities should aim at enhancing the participant’s ability to apply key concepts and theory/theoretical frameworks, in an analytical and reflective practice of their own.
Learning Outcomes
- Understand and explain the rationale, key elements and steps required to develop ASP program on rational antimicrobial use.
- Design and implement a program on rational antimicrobial use.
- Identify and select appropriate indicators and methods and tools for evaluation of the ASP program on rational antimicrobial use.
- Design and implement a work plan for ASP program on rational antimicrobial use.
The training method should help healthcare professionals with some or even vast experience in the field to learn, promote and implement “Antimicrobial Stewardship – rational use of antimicrobials in healthcare settings” It should contain 7 principles of adult learning (Knowles 1984)
- Establish an effective learning climate, where learners feel safe and comfortable expressing themselves
- Involve learners in mutual planning of relevant methods and curricular content
- Involve learners in diagnosing their own needs; which will help trigger internal motivation
- Encourage learners to formulate their own learning objectives; giving them more control of their learning
- Encourage learners to identify resources and devise strategies for using the resources to achieve their objectives
- Support learners to carry out their learning plans
- Involve learners in evaluating their own learning; this helps in developing their skills of critical reflection (Kaufman 2003)
- Antimicrobial Resistance and its global impact
- The role of communities and government in AMR Stewardship Program
- The relationship between AMR and prescribing
- Design of an effective Antibiotic Stewardship Program (ASP)
- What is ASP and how it can be implemented in a hospital setting
- Importance of measurement and reporting on the stewardship: how it can improve antibiotic prescribing
- Types and use of effective interventions to reduce resistance
- How novel diagnostics can help in clinical decision-making for antibiotic prescribing
- Understanding the value of Behavior Change Science to improve antibiotic prescribing
- Examples of successful antibiotic stewardship from across the globe
- A pre-course reading material to be sent to the participants one week before the commencement of the course
- A 5-day (20 hours) online face-to-face session divided into 2 Tracks plus case discussion. Starting with a pre-test questionnaire
