## Notice

Project Background The HEE 2019-20 mandate and UK AMR 5-year action plan have an action to enhance the role of pharmacists in primary care to review the dose and duration of antimicrobial prescriptions (especially long-term or repeat ones) and work with prescribers to review those that are inappropriate through evidence-based, system-wide interventions. Training interventions should facilitate and support an open and learning culture within healthcare settings on AMR by supporting the dissemination and implementation of learning strategies that are most likely to bring about behavioural change. Scope of the Contract Deliver a workforce development intervention for pharmacists working in all settings aimed at increasing motivation and capability through the design and implementation of behaviour change interventions that will deliver the UK 5-year action plan for AMR.
