Attended my first SHEA conference and wow, what a fantastic and inspiring group of people and presentations. Thank you to @sheaepi.bsky.social for choosing me as one of your international ambassadors this year, and to my fellow IAPs. Hope to be back again in the near future! #SHEASpring2025

Brilliant and inspiring closing plenary presentation from @payalpatel.bsky.social on current and future directions of AMS at #SHEASpring2025. Thanks for the shout out on our Australian National AU program on antimicrobial prescribing appropriateness @ncas.bsky.social

#Sorrynotsorry to all our ID dra who have side hustles in martial arts& stand up comedy! Very low probability u are good at this as per #generativeAI A/Prof Daniel Capurro-Centre of Digital Transformation of Health always providing easy explanations 4 us learning about #ML & #AI #antimicrobials2025

Even more evidence that we should put our efforts on unrestricted antibiotics - high volume of use with low rates of appropriateness! @cazchen.bsky.social compares 2023 #NAPS and #NAUSP data #antimicrobials2025 #ASA

What a way to wrap up Day 1 of #ASA2025 with our Director Prof Kas Thursky delivering the prestigious Howard Florey Oration. We’re so proud to be a part of her visionary work pioneering #AMS in Australia and internationally and driving the field forward. @ausantibiotics.bsky.social

Proud of our team of clinician researchers at the (unofficial) NCAS session at #ASA2025

So many reasons why appropriate IV to oral switch is important for AMS and patient care. Amongst them, the considerable time savings, amplified across a whole patient cohort are substantial. Thanks @nikhil-singh.bsky.social for a great presentation at #ASA2025 @ausantibiotics.bsky.social #AMSsky

The year in clinical microbiology prof Tony Korman giving us a #bluesky shout out and highlighting the exodus of X to Bluesky to stay up to date on #ID and #micro research & connect with other researchers 💙 #antimicrobials2025 #followus

A national audit of 200 hospitals showed ongoing poor prescribing in surgical prophylaxis, in particular with extended durations of post-operative prophylaxis. Dr Courtney Ierano presenting the 2023 results of our Surgical NAPS program @ausantibiotics.bsky.social #AMSsky #ASA2025

The Australian Society for Antimicrobials is here!! 🎉👏 @ausantibiotics.bsky.social @germhuntermd.bsky.social @josemolinagb.bsky.social if you’re still going with the starter packs, can you add them? #IDsky #AMSsky

I don't want a lot for Christmas... 🎵 www.ncas-australia.org/ClinicalFact... #antimicrobialmas #AMSsky

It's beginning to look a lot like #antimicrobialmas... The first in our 2024 NCAS Christmas poster series - stay tuned for the remaining posters to be released over the coming weeks. #AMSsky

Hi #IDSky! I’m putting together my usual top 10 ID papers of this year list again (this time will post here not in the other world). Please tell me your candidate papers - practice changing paradigm shifting or dogma challenging!

Can someone help me find the starter packs for ID epi and infection prevention? @germhuntermd.bsky.social I feel like I’ve seen them somewhere but I cannot for the life of me find them now.

And that’s a wrap! 🎬 A huge thanks to all the organizers and presenters for an absolutely fantastic NCAS #WAAW2024 Forum. What a fabulous day of learning and catching up with our AMS colleagues. See you all again at the next one! #AMSsky

The “Valley of death” where basic research doesn’t translate into practice. Lots of research waste, all of which leads to poorer patient outcomes. Dr Lisa Guccione speaking about the importance of implementation science in research. #WAAW2024 forum, #AMSsky

All pharmacists have a role in AMS whether they work in hospitals, community or aged care. Shift in community pharmacist AMS engagement and training now underway to support the nation-wide community pharmacist prescribing for UTI management. @ncas.bsky.social #WAAW2024 #AMSsky #Pharmsky

Stunning clear #bluesky here in Melbourne. Looking forward to the @ncas.bsky.social #WAAW2024 forum and a day of great presentations and catching up with #AMS colleagues around the country. #AMSsky #IDsky

🔥BALANCE RCT🔥 74 hospitals in 7 countries 3,608 patients A 7-day course of antibiotics for hospitalized patients with bloodstream infections was non inferior to 14d within a 4% prespecified margin for mortality at 90 days #idsky www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

#WAAW2024 Day 4 There always seems to be a medication shortage of some sort... NCAS have developed medication shortage fact sheets for a range of common antimicrobials, with suggested alternatives based on the Australian Therapeutic Guidelines. #AMSsky #IDsky www.ncas-australia.org/ClinicalFact...

For day 3 #WAAW2024, we are promoting the incredible work done by our vet colleagues in developing antimicrobial prescribing guidelines and #AMS program resources in companion animals, horses and cattle. Links in comments #AMSSky #Vetsky #OneHealth

#WAAW Day 2 So important for patients to have access to clear, relevant info on their antimicrobial therapy. Our Patient Info leaflets have been developed by our team of pharmacists, physicians, are UI/UX designed with full consumer review. www.ncas-australia.org/ClinicalFact... #IDSky #AMSSky

What a great article and just what I needed to hear at this stage of my PhD journey

Hey, #IDSky stewards! How about a starter pack for antimicrobial stewardship? Use the tag #AMSsky in your posts to join the feed on this topic. Let’s make sharing easy! go.bsky.app/7KcDc2n

How is it almost the end of November already? Excited about our NCAS #WAAW forum next week and the theme of research. A core part of AMS programs is designing meaningful, implementable interventions to improve prescribing - there are many research principles that can help inform how we do this.
