The example below illustrates how a manager raises awareness of the framework and encourages staff to take part in learning activities about antimicrobial resistance and stewardship.
Senior charge nurse managing a team in a hospital orthopaedic ward
John works as a Senior Charge Nurse in the orthopaedic ward of a large Scottish hospital. He has used the framework for his own personal development plan and he learned a lot, and he knows how important antimicrobial stewardship is on his current ward.
He is now preparing for annual reviews and notes down some key points to discuss with staff during the upcoming appraisals.
Keen to raise awareness of the issues relating to antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial stewardship, he plans to introduce the framework in a team session and then ask each staff member to include learning in their personal development plan.
