Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a qualitative study with patients and clinicians in secondary care.

We will use semi-structured interviews with patients and clinicians to address the research question. Patients that have received antibiotics during a recent inpatient stay will be identified using the hospital electronic prescribing system and a letter inviting study participation will be included in their discharge medication pack. Senior prescribing decision makers will be recruited from participating hospitals. In total, we hope to carry out up to 50 interviews with patients and clinicians.
