The aim of this National Welsh Standard is to ensure we are checking the diagnosis, assessing severity and considering co-morbidities when a patient presents to hospital with suspected Community Acquired Pneumonia, before initiating the most effective antibiotic therapy.
Check out the All Wales guideline, TV show and tutorials on the hospital management of community acquired pneumonia. When you are ready, navigate to the assessment to achieve the certificate against the National Welsh Standard (NWS).
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.
