Description
H Bayliss and C Aherne report, in a 2026 conference abstract, that focused teaching sharply raised pharmacists' antimicrobial stewardship work in a large teaching hospital. Four clinical pharmacists in acute medicine received monthly hour-long sessions over ten months, covering common infections and simple stewardship moves like switching intravenous drugs to oral ones. Their logged actions were compared across periods before, during, and after teaching.
Actions averaged two per month before teaching, peaked at eight during the sessions, and held at seven monthly for six months afterward. The mix also changed: pharmacists began stopping unneeded antibiotics, relabeling doubtful penicillin allergies, and pushing IV-to-oral switches, habits that persisted after teaching ended. The authors present targeted teaching as a durable lever for building stewardship inside pharmacy teams.
