Antibiotics General Practitioner Survey

To ensure that future policy initiatives best match the experience and needs of general practitioners, EBPracticeNet, the reference platform for Evidence-Based Practice for all Belgian healthcare providers, together with the academic centers for general practice of UAntwerp and ULiège, is launching the Antibiotics General Practitioner Survey (Antibiotic GPS). We receive support for this in Flanders from all universities and Domus Medica. In the Antibiotics GPS (Antibiotics General Practitioner Survey) general practitioners can indicate which actions, instruments and initiatives they find useful in the fight against antimicrobial resistance. This questionnaire assesses experiences with regard to the prescription of antibiotics, current policy initiatives, supporting instruments, (rapid) tests, guidelines, etc. for the effective use of antibiotics in common infections. The survey also asks what lessons we can draw from the corona crisis that are relevant for antibiotic policy. The results will be used to set up new interventions and to guide Belgian AMR policy.
