NCAS PhD Fellow Fiona Gotterson is currently seeking nurses currently working in an Australian general practice (GP) to participate in an online survey exploring GP nurse perceptions of their antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) role.  Registered nurses and enrolled nurses who are endorsed to administer medications and have been working in an Australian GP setting for more than 12 months are eligible to participate. Through this research, Fiona and her research team aim to describe aspects of a GP nurses’ work that have relevance to AMS, to develop suggestions for ways GP nurses may be involved and supported to contribute to AMS activities, and to identify priorities for future research on this topic.

This survey is one part of a larger research project exploring the role of nurses in antimicrobial stewardship in Australian general practice settings and has human research ethics approval from the University of Melbourne (ethics project ID 24060). Fiona’s PhD is being completed under the supervision of Professor Kirsty Buising, and Associate Professor Lisa Hall and Professor Elizabeth Manias.
