GP Antibiotics 2.0.7

GP Antibiotics is a convenient, easy-to-use pocket reference tool based on the current NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde antimicrobial guidelines. It features a sophisticated, contemporary user interface. Notably, this resource is provided free of charge.

This application offers valuable support for general practitioners, physicians, junior doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals operating within primary care settings. It presents the latest guidelines for managing antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and other antimicrobials commonly prescribed for infections in both adults and children.

GP Antibiotics provides comprehensive guidance on various infections encountered in adults and children, including those affecting the central nervous system, genital tract, gastrointestinal system, HIV patients, immunocompromised individuals, respiratory system (both upper and lower tracts), as well as skin/soft tissue and urinary tracts. Users will find detailed information on dosages, treatment frequencies and durations, as well as first-line, second-line, and penicillin allergy-friendly options.

The main objective behind this application is to enhance healthcare services. The app anonymously collects usage data to assist in refining the guidelines and optimizing the user experience. Additionally, the creators are invested in understanding global antibiotic consumption patterns and their impact on antibiotic resistance. Users have the option to easily disable anonymous data collection in the app's settings.

GP Antibiotics is an official collaboration between Dr. Andrew Seaton, an infectious diseases consultant at the NHS Glasgow Brownlee Centre for Infectious and Communicable Diseases, and the prescribing team at NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde; along with Dr. Samuel Leighton, a foundation junior doctor with a passion for app development; and Mr. Michael Park, a skilled software developer—all representing the esteemed Scottish medical app developers Polwarth Limited.
