Safer Care Victoria
Join us for a clinical conversation focused on penicillin allergies and what ward staff need to know in everyday practice. This session will cover how to assess patients with a penicillin allergy, identify low-risk penicillin allergies, and understand the testing process. We will highlight the role ward staff play in supporting safe patient care and appropriate antibiotic use.
This session will be of interest to all ward staff, including nurses, pharmacists, and doctors.
