- Description
- The clinical microbiology service (CMS) is an essential and integral part of a wide range of organisational initiatives that underpin antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) efforts. At some sites, many of these activities are done in conjunction with infectious diseases consultants and registrars. The CMS supports the clinician with data to inform individual patient diagnosis and treatment decisions, and should provide leadership in developing and maintaining best practice in the organisation’s antimicrobial use.
