ID:IOTS - Infectious Disease Insight Of Two Specialists

Paediatric AMS? Surely there aren't any issues with antimicrobial use in paediatrics?!
Jame hears from Dr Charlotte Fuller and Dr Sanjay Patel that yes, yes there is a problem! And YOU can do something about it.
Listen in to hear the answers to these questions:
What do we know about AMR and antimicrobial use in children? 
What are the barriers to responsible antimicrobial use in children?
How can DGH AMS teams and paediatrics support each other?  
Are there any other paediatric-specific considerations for infection prevention, diagnosis and management?
Where can microbiologists learn more about paediatric infection? HINT it is here: https://uk-pas.co.uk/ and here https://bsac.org.uk/paediatricpathways/

There's nothing new under the sun... except for these new antifungals which we will now educate you on! 
One's an inhaled azole (OK not that new)
One's sort of an echinocandin (shut up)
Two are unpronounceable (but related to fungicides which we're using already)
And Alyssa and Jame are joined by Dr Neil Stone, ID:IOTS Podcast Novel Antifungal Agent Correspondent, to guide you through it all!

Callum was recently on the Primary Care Knowledge Boost podcast (https://pckb.org/), talking about what happens to microbiology specimens sent in to the lab. He did so well we thought we'd share it with you here! Enjoy... 
Original podcast blurb here: 
---
Doctors Lisa and Sara are joined by Medical microbiology and Infectious Diseases Consultant Dr Callum Mutch to follow the journey of a urine sample and a throat swab as they are processed. We discuss the important points to get right in the pre-analytical, analytical and post analytical stages of their journeys. Some fascinating insights (including how the clinical details can affect what is tested for) that have changed our practice for the better.
