We are currently undertaking a phased update of the NEL antimicrobial prescribing guidance for managing common infections in primary care. Due to competing priorities, progress has been slower than initially expected. The review is being conducted section by section, and updated content will be published via the relevant sub-section links as it becomes available.Given that our local guidelines are now significantly overdue for review, there is a possibility that they may no longer align with the most current clinical recommendations. To address this, we have temporarily withdrawn access to the full 2023 version and will instead direct users to the standard NICE guidance until revised sections are released.
