Our foray into penicillin allergy de-labelling published. UK pharmacist-led study supported by three great junior doctors. We are refining the patient pathway so that more patients will have opportunity to be tested. Watch this space...Jonathan Sandoe shuayb clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.com/article/S1198-…

There is too much variation in protocols for non-specialist assessment of penicillin allergy - a standardised approach is needed - time for a consensus? BSACI BSAC @LouiseSavic Neil Powell shuayb doi.org/10.1093/jacamr…

People have joined this penicillin allergy assessment “MOOC” from over 92 countries! @fiacloir1 Dr Sophie Farooque 💙 Allergy UK

Non-allergist penicillin allergy de-labelling approaches differ. Harmonisation is required to facilitate wider dissemination of penicillin allergy de-labelling: doi.org/10.1093/jacamr… Neil Powell shuayb Jonathan Sandoe @OUPMedicine Oxford Journals #JACAMRNews

UK healthcare worker views on penicillin allergy de-labelling; it aligns with roles, needs to be structured & training is required. Time was identified as a barrier, but a positive impact on immediate care would prioritise de-labelling academic.oup.com/jacamr/article…

“SPACE” study found you can safely remove incorrect penicillin allergy records from NHS hospital patients but it’s much easier for elective vs acute admissions @LouiseSavic Rashmeet Bhogal Kornelija Kildonaviciute Yogini J Louise Dunsmure (Louise Holroyd) 💙 Dr. Ron Daniels BEM Bee Yean Ng pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38331329/

During #COVID_19, antibiotics were overprescribed for suspected bacterial coinfections, driving resistance. The PEACH study examined PCT blood testing to safely reduce #antibiotic use in hospitalised #patients. Watch our video to find out more: bit.ly/3Pkru31
