At @ABsteward's request, TB is pulled out into its own brand new table, including adding seminal short course, historical TB studies. So now there are 3 Shorter Is Better Tables. The original. TB Is Complex. And Exceptions. If you know of other TB RCTs, let me know!

Great to see the 3rd AMS regional lead post being advertised, this time in the North West. Building a team of expert pharmacists in NHSE&I to champion the AMR/AMS agenda in the regions and nationally. Expecting to see some strong candidates. @keithridge1 jobs.england.nhs.uk/job/v295…

Reducing unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions in #COVID19 remains a challenge. Our paper tackling this finally out in @BSACandJAC! Routinely measured inflammatory markers can help exclude bacterial co-infection & promote #antimicrobialstewardship (1/5) academic.oup.com/jac/advance…

I’m reading that a life is saved for every 20 covid vaccines given . If we have given just over 6300 just in our hospital..... what a difference that will make 🤞. We have to push on - we can do this.
