The Antimicrobial Stewardship – Pharmacy First dashboard is now available in ePACT2.
The dashboard reports consultation activity for the NHS Pharmacy First service at a population level for all 42 NHS Integrated Care Boards (ICBs). A range of comparators relating to Pharmacy First consultation activity are available in the dashboard, including:
- consultation outcome
- consultation type
- medicines supplied for each of the seven common infections and includes a comparator reporting consultation activity as a population rate
Data is reported on a monthly basis and over time will allow for trend analysis for each of the seven common infections covered by the service.
The dashboard supports the UK’s second five-year national action plan for antimicrobial resistance by reporting data which can be used to monitor the use of antimicrobials and optimise the management of common infections in primary care.
