 Pharmacists are a unique resource and within the hospital setting they have the background education to be able to do antibiotic stewardship and they also uniquely place to be able to interact with the rest of the health professionals. Before the antibiotic stewardship program I never really engaged with patients on their dispensing of antibiotics. I would just dispense it because the doctor wrote it on the prescription but now I tend to engage more with the patients to find out that they really need to take the antibiotics or not. As my knowledge increased and I read up on stewardship and cultures and microbiology, my confidence grew and I was able to interact with the doctors. We saw that the credibility of the pharmacy had increased. The doctors were starting to phone us to ask us more queries, they were listening to our interventions, they were engaging with us, they wanted to know whether we had cultural results, what our opinions were. So it had a kind of potted forward component to it and that still continues today. It's a passing it forward to somebody brand new who joins the organisation now and also passing it forward into the public sector. I'm now in a very fortunate position to be taking the anti-microbial stewardship program into the public sector, it's very resource limited. We do not have access to all the antibiotics in the private sector. So we're going to have to work smartly to preserve the antibiotics that we've got, not just for us but for our future generations.
