    Hi,
    Can anyone direct me to the “traffic light” chart used for prescribing antimicrobials. I have one from the UK but would prefer one from Australia.

    Hi,

    We have one that we use for our antimicrobial stewardship program (Green freely prescribable; Yellow computer approval; Red call ID). We like to joke about Red that “if you can’t spell it, you can’t have it” as it includes the mostly unfamiliar antibiotics. Our junior staff say that Yellow is “all the good stuff”.

    If anyone would like it as a PDF then I am happy to send it.
