UPDATE: New NHS Antibiotic Guidelines 2018 adopted across Wessex

Written by admin on Tuesday 30th October 2018

The guidelines recommend changes to the ways in which antibiotic medicines are prescribed, so it is imperative that pharmacists also read, use and are familiar with them to aid in their clinical checking of antibiotic prescriptions dispensed.


Information on the newly updated NHS Antibiotic Guidelines is now on a permanent page of our CPSC website in the 'For Professionals' section (see link below). Please share this information with your team.

We recommend that you create a shortcut to the page on your pharmacy desktop to aid future reference to the up to date PDF resource, rather than printing a hard version for use by your team. The on-line PDF will be constantly reviewed and update as necessary; so will always represent the most up to date guidance.
