BIA is publishing a series of these 1-page visual guides for physicians seeing infection cases at the hospital front door. They will aid infection test selection and will signpost to relevant guidance.
They will be published on the BIA, RCP and other relevant websites, and talks are under way to release them in the Microguide app.
If you are interested in co-authoring one of these guides, along with a leading consultant in the field, please provide your expression of interest as per the details below.
