In Webinar 4 Professor Paul Little presents data on the benefit of antibiotics for uncomplicated infections, the effect of antibiotic prescribing on medicalisation of infection, and the place and benefits of back-up antibiotics in daily GP practice.
Professor Paul Little has been a GP for 20 years and is Professor of Primary Care Research at the University of Southampton. His major research interests are in facilitating self-help and behaviour change for both acute and chronic conditions, the management of infections (including antibiotic use, antibiotic prescribing strategies, and antimicrobial resistance), patient-centred consulting, and the investigation of complementary approaches.
The webinar was led by Professor Cliodna McNulty, head of PHE Primary Care Unit.
