NHS England has launched a national programme to combat antibiotic overusage, which it describes it as “the world’s largest healthcare incentive scheme” to prevent antimicrobial resistance.
The programme, which goes live in April 2016, will offer hospitals incentive funding worth up to £150 million to support expert pharmacists and clinicians to review and reduce inappropriate prescribing. In addition, Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) could receive up to £150,000 a year to support GP practices to improve their antimicrobial prescribing.
