The Medical University of Lodz has received funds for the implementation of a new project entitled „Improving antibiotic use in long term care facilities by infection prevention and control and antibiotic stewardship – IMAGINE” under the EU4Health Programme (EU4H).

The aim of this project is to increase the prevention of infections (mainly of the urinary tract infections) and to reduce antibiotic inappropriateness for these infections by implementing a multifaceted intervention targeting health care professionals in particular in nursing homes. The project applies the Audit Project Odense method of audit and feed-back before and after this intervention.

Works under the project will be carried out by the Centre for Family and Community Medicine, coordinated by prof. Maciej Godycki-Ćwirko.
