Join us for a webinar discussing the efforts to promote antimicrobial stewardship interventions in rural locations in Canada. We will hear from a senior pharmacist in rural Saskatchewan about her experiences in promoting more appropriate antimicrobial use in the local area. Bring questions or add comments based on your experience of AMS in rural settings to help broaden perspectives.
Stream: Antimicrobial Use and Resistance
The Farm & AMR: Antimicrobial Resistance and Antimicrobial Use in Food-producing Animals
Dr. Jan Sargeant helps build our One Health understanding of AMR in this episode focused on antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial use in Canadian food-producing animals. The episode highlights how veterinarians and producers are working to use antibiotics responsibly, gains made, challenges that remain, and key interventions that could do more to preserve the effectiveness of antimicrobials for people and animals alike.
One Health 101 – Understanding the Connection Between Humans, Animals, and the Environment in the Fight Against AMR
Dr. Jane Parmley joins NCCID for our opening episode of the Getting to Know OH mini-series to help introduce the fundamentals of the One Health concept and its relevance for public health decision-making. Dr. Parmely shares her views on the timeliness and value of a One Health approach to current challenges addressing the complex problem of AMR, as well as inspiring examples of where it is being applied.
Drop the Label: Penicillin Allergy de-Labelling is for Everyone
Pen-allergy de-labelling can be a powerful antimicrobial stewardship tool, clarifying options available to prescribers selecting the most appropriate antibiotic for their patients. Join leads in the BC-based multidisciplinary ‘Drop the Label’ initiative as they share successes and challenges in developing, implementing, and scaling up patient education and clinical tools to support prescribers serving people with potential antibiotic allergies.
Management of Community-Acquired Pneumonia in Adults Infographic
The Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) management tool provides guidelines for treating CAP among adult patients in Manitoba. The tool integrates antimicrobial stewardship principles for optimizing antibiotic use by incorporating current evidence concerning the choice of drug, dose, delivery method, and duration of therapy for CAP.
What CAN Antibiograms Tell us? Microbiological insights for antimicrobial stewardship
Antibiograms are convenient antimicrobial stewardship tools, readily available in most Canadian contexts, but remain underutilized by clinicians. Our speakers illustrate and discuss how to use and correctly interpret these data for optimizing antimicrobial use.
Optimizing Antimicrobial Use Through the Respiratory Season in Children
This CAN AMS! webinar explores strategies to optimize antimicrobial use during the respiratory season in children.
CAN AMS! Building an Antimicrobial Stewardship Committee in Long-term Care
This webinar discusses the experiences of two long-term care facilities in Saskatchewan who were each tasked with developing an antimicrobial stewardship committee.
CAN AMS! Three Can-Do Outlooks on AMS
Join this engaging session highlighting opportunities for antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) in human, animal, and environmental health domains. NCCID and AMMI Canada welcome leaders in AMS from across Canada for this launch of the ‘CANAMS!’ series.
Infographic: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureas (MRSA)
This infogrpahic overviews the resistant bacteria, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureas (MRSA). It answers questions about symptoms, treatment and prevention.
Fact Sheet: MRSA in Correctional Facilities and Shelters
This fact sheet overviews the resistant bacteria, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureas (MRSA). MRSA is commonly associated with hospital settings (called health-care associated MRSA or HA-MRSA).
What can routine surveillance data reveal about antibiotic resistance dynamics?
This webinar will address two analyses of routine surveillance data designed to support parameterisation and construction of mechanistic mathematical models of AMR.
