Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are one of the most frequent reasons for consulting in primary care.

How clinicians manage RTIs influences antibiotic use, patient self-care, safety netting and further patient care-seeking. 

This webinar will demonstrate the link between prescribing for RTI and resistance trends in England. Using clinical scenarios, the speaker(s) will summarise NICE prescribing guidance and best practice recommendations to support management and treatments of RTIs in primary care settings. 

It will also discuss patient perceptions of antibiotic prescribing, their views on back-up/delayed prescriptions, and tips on discussing these with patients.
