Abstract

Antimicrobial-resistant infections cause a significant number of deaths globally each year, and the development of resistance is influenced by the frequency of antibiotic use. This article describes an antimicrobial stewardship competency framework for undergraduate nurse education in the UK and internationally, explaining how this framework can be mapped to nurse education and training programmes. It also uses a case study to demonstrate how the competencies can be applied to nursing practice.
