About the event
Join us for the final Taranaki Medical Foundation CME evening of 2026 with Dr Juliet Elvy, Clinical Microbiologist, for a practical and interactive session on antimicrobial stewardship.
Antimicrobial resistance continues to challenge everyday clinical decision-making across both primary and secondary care. Juliet will explore how we can use microbiology testing and antimicrobial therapy more wisely, drawing on available New Zealand data, clinical experience and real-world practice.
The session will include discussion around:
choosing investigations and microbiology testing appropriately
interpreting microbiology results in the clinical context
making thoughtful antimicrobial prescribing decisions
