The slogan of World Antimicrobial Awareness Week remains 'Antimicrobials: Handle with Care'. WAAW is celebrated from 18 to 24 November every year and this year on November 24th we will be hosting a panel discussion to consider antimicrobial use in veterinary medicine. Dr Sue Paterson will facilitate a panel discussion with Chris Gush (RCVS Knowledge); Prof. Ian Ramsey (Glasgow University); Dr Vanessa Schmidt (University of Liverpool); Fraser Broadfoot (VMD) to discuss amongst other things: Why is antimicrobial stewardship important? / What are highest priority critically important antibiotics and when should they be used? / How do we recognise that bacterial infection is present in our patients? / What common conditions seen in primary care practice can be managed without antibiotics?
