Summary
Stop scrolling - I know what you’re thinking: “I don’t want to listen to someone preaching to me about antimicrobial resistance - it’s boring, and it just makes me feel guilty!” Here's a promise: you'll find nothing boring or preachy here. What you will get is interesting science, practical tips, and zero guilt trips. Dr Kate Worthing is a senior lecturer in veterinary microbiology, practising clinician and passionate antibiotic resistance researcher, and she’s about to change how you prescribe. Together we unpack why the way you use antibiotics in general practice is more than a clinical choice - it’s a responsibility that affects your patients, your team, and your future cases. From unseen pathways of resistance to pragmatic stewardship strategies you can implement this week, this is essential listening for all veterinarians. You’ll learn: Why antimicrobial resistance is not just a global issue - it’s personal, and it’s already in your consult room. How selection pressure works beyond the infection: across the microbiome, the patient, and the environment. Why MRSA isn't really the problem you should be worried about (and where you SHOULD point your attention). Where resistance risk is highest in small animal practice. What “good prescribing” looks like in real life How to find and apply trustworthy prescribing guidelines without slowing down your workflow.
