Antimicrobial Stewardship — 2: Choosing, explaining and reviewing

• 1 hour verifiable CPD
• 2 of 2
• Whole dental team
• GDC outcomes A, C, D

Module 2 of 2 — first-line thinking, allergy, duration, delayed prescriptions, and the record you would be happy to show the GDC.

2 hours in two modules: this is 2 of 2. Complete them in numerical order: 1, then 2. Both stay open — there is no lock. Drug names and first-line choices change. Always check current national dental antimicrobial guidance and the BNF on the day you prescribe.

What you will be able to do

1. 1Use current national dental antimicrobial tables rather than memory or leftover stock
2. 2Take an allergy and medicines history that changes what you prescribe
3. 3Explain delayed prescribing and review so “just in case” is not the default
4. 4Record indication, drug, dose, duration, advice and follow-up
