Our Session in the Programme

Veterinary Prescribing Champions (VPC): Using clinical audit to improve antimicrobial stewardship across veterinary practice, with Amelia Sidwell | Friday 10:00-10:50AM Penbryn Medrus 3

This interactive workshop explores how clinical audit can be used as a practical tool to improve antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) across all veterinary sectors. Suitable for the whole practice team, including those working towards or maintaining RCVS Practice Standards Scheme accreditation, the session demonstrates how a simple, adaptable audit framework can be applied in everyday practice. Using examples from the Veterinary Prescribing Champions (VPC) Network, delegates will gain insight into how audit can support better prescribing decisions, team engagement, and continuous improvement, and how to overcome common challenges such as time constraints and data collection. Participants will leave with practical tips, templates, and inspiration to use clinical audit as a meaningful tool for improving patient care, not simply as a compliance exercise.

No pre-booking required, this session is open to all attendees
