En juin 2024, l'Institut de médecine tropicale d'Anvers organisera une formation pratique de trois semaines sur la résistance aux antibiotiques et sa maîtrise au niveau hospitalier dans des environnements à faibles ressources.

This course will be of particular interest to the members of the Global-PPS community who are working on developing Antibiotic Stewardship interventions in their institutions. It contains a specific programme track on Antibiotic Stewardship, covering topics such as the rational use of antibiotics, gathering/understanding antibiotic use data, translation of antibiotic resistance data into guidelines as well as a closer look on the prescriber and patient perspectives.

This interactive training offers a mixture of lectures, hands-on sessions, case discussions, data analysis, role-play and debates. It is open to health care workers (medical doctors, nursing staff, clinical officers, pharmacists, biomedical scientists and laboratory staff) working in hospital facilities in low-resource settings.

The course will take place from 3 to 21 June 2024 in Antwerp, Belgium. Deadline for registration is 15 January 2024. A detailed programme and all practical information can be found at this link.  Any queries for the course organizers at the Institute of Tropical Medicine can be sent to aim@itg.be.
