OPAT Good Practice Recommendations
1. OPAT Good Practice Recommendations
These OPAT Good Practice Recommendations (GPRs) have been developed by a joint multisciplinary working group of the British Infection Association and British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy.
This survey is to follow up the presentation of the draft GPRs presented at the recent OPAT Summit Conference, and as such is limited to delegates at the conference. There will be a formal consultation of all stakeholder groups in the near future that will include supporting evidence for each GPR.
The group has undertaken a rigorous and extensive review of all available evidence. At the time of writing (March 2011) the group is currently finalising the evidence, details of which will be appended to each good practice area in the final version for full consultation.
GPRs have been developed across 5 areas. You are asked to read and rate the importance of each recommendation and offer any additional comments you might have.
Following this survey, the GPRs will be finalised and put our for national consultation prior to being submitted for publication in an international peer review journal.
