PROJECT IVORY CLINICAL REDESIGN GRADUATION
Beaming with pride for our very own pharmacists Sally Nicolson and Debbie Barry who graduated from the Clinical Redesign Graduate Certificate in May. Pictured below with NSW Health Secretary, Susan Pearce. After a year-long project promoting the early switch from IV to Oral antimicrobials (IVORY), the team have shown incredible personal and professional growth and development. Project IVORY aims to reduce the unnecessary use of intravenous (IV) antimicrobials. Unnecessarily prolonged courses of IV antimicrobials present significant risks and minimal benefit for patients.
Risks include:
longer stays in hospital
•
IV-related complications
•
antimicrobial resistance
•
reduced drug effectiveness
•
higher healthcare costs
•
• increased carbon emissions The team have developed multiple solutions to foster a cultural shift in antimicrobial prescribing. To find out more please see: Project IVORY | Agency for Clinical Innovation Through their innovative, solution focused, collaborative approach they have led the project with patents and planet at heart–we look forward to seeing what more you achieve! Please take time to congratulate the team If you’re interested in learning more about the graduate certificate of Clinical redesign, please reach out to Manager, Clinical Redesign and Innovation Nada Mirkovic on nada.mirkovic@health.nsw.gov.au on Wednesday – Friday
