Scottish Management of Antimicrobial Resistance Action Plan 2014-18 (ScotMARAP2)

The recommendations set out in the Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy and Scottish Action Plan ( SEHD 2002) have now largely been implemented, or overtaken by subsequent developments. A Ministerial Healthcare Associated Infection ( HAI) Task Force working group was commissioned to review the progress in delivery of these recommendations, and to produce the Scottish Management of Antimicrobial Resistance Action Plan ( ScotMARAP). ScotMARAP expands on the issues raised in the guidance document Antimicrobial Prescribing Policy and Practice in Scotland (2005), produced by the Scottish Medicines Consortium on behalf of the HAI Task Force, and outlines the national programme for Scotland over the next five years
