Better use of antibiotics in GP clinics
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how to improve the use of antibiotics (antimicrobial stewardship) in general practice clinics. It aims to find the best ways to help doctors prescribe antibiotics only when needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a general practice clinic located in New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, or Victoria

This study looks at how doctors use a computer tool that gives decision support (like a smart assistant) when treating respiratory infections. The goal is to improve how such tools are designed for primary care settings.
This trial tests whether giving doctors a report comparing their antibiotic prescribing to their peers can improve how antibiotics are used. If you are a general medicine patient who stayed in the hospital for a short time, this study may help make antibiotic use safer and more effective.
This study tests a program to help intensive care units (ICUs) use antibiotics more wisely. It aims to improve how antibiotics are prescribed to reduce side effects and resistance.
This study tests whether following a national guideline for treating common respiratory infections (like colds, sore throats, or bronchitis) can help doctors in Switzerland prescribe fewer antibiotics. It focuses on primary care physicians and clinics in certain cantons who are willing to participate in surveys and interviews.
This study looks at how doctors and patients make decisions together about using antibiotics wisely in the hospital. If you are a patient who was treated with antibiotics for an infection while hospitalized, or a senior doctor who cares for such patients, this trial may be a fit.
This trial tests a program that uses educational video calls to help primary care doctors prescribe antibiotics more wisely. It aims to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use and improve patient care.
