Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) in the UK: findings from the BSAC National Outcomes Registry (2015–19)

Abstract

This report demonstrates the safety, breadth, and complexity of modern UK OPAT practice. Future analyses of OPAT data should focus on infection- and service-specific quality indicators. OPAT registries remain central to planning and assessing safe, effective, and efficient delivery of patient-centred care and should be an important focus for UK and global OPAT practice.
