The All Wales Secondary Care Community Acquired Pneumonia Guideline

This National Guideline has been developed for secondary care in Wales. The guideline is broken down into 5 simple steps, with a heavy emphasis on not just the antibiotic choices, but making sure we are checking the diagnosis of pneumonia, assessing severity and considering co-morbidities.
