BSAC is inviting expressions of interest for research on: “Translational research of COVID-19 and its impact on infection management, specifically addressing antimicrobial stewardship”.

BSAC is establishing a UK Drug Registry (UKAR) to provide prescribers and organisations the opportunity to capture real world usage of antimicrobial agents and identify where real clinical unmet needs lie. This will provide an invaluable resource for future research studies and also enable the sharing of best practice.
