The University of Auckland Antimicrobial Stewardship Team sought feedback on the draft electronic version of Te Whata Kura - National Antibiotic Guidelines for Aotearoa. We supported development of the resource to help achieve effective, equitable and sustainable use of antibiotics, noting RACS’ own commitment to address inequities in antibiotic use. We shared the link with all members of the AoNZ National Committee, asking for feedback within the app and to contribute to a RACS submission.
The general feedback was Te Whata Kura will be a valuable resource; it is clear, simple to navigate and on point. We suggested checking alignment with the Health Pathways made available to general practitioners to guide disease management and referrals (the Team has responded this is underway), and provided some specific feedback where changes are needed.
