Abstract:
Up to 4% of inpatients are in hospital solely to receive intravenous antimicrobial therapy.

OPAT aligns well with key priorities in the new NHS and in this article I explore how new developments in the national healthcare context might be exploited to promote the ongoing evolution of OPAT in the UK.
