Stephen Hughes MBA, MSc, MPharm, is a consultant antimicrobial pharmacist at Chelsea & Westminster NHS Foundation Trust.

Do we make the best use of new antibiotics?
How should the UK government intervene to ensure a robust pipeline of new antibiotics remains into the future?
Are we collectively being too complacent in the prescribing practise that we tolerate with antibiotics?
What have you and your team had to unlearn during COVID-19?
Are you concerned about a surge of secondary bacterial infection in people who have suffered COVID-19?
How have your team coped with the COVID-19 situation?
