GP training trial aims to curb unnecessary antibiotic use

NCT ID NCT06953804

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests two ways to help general practitioners (GPs) use antimicrobial stewardship resources when treating respiratory tract infections. One group gets online training and self-audit tools; the other gets face-to-face support. Researchers will track how often GPs use these resources and ask patients for feedback. The goal is to find the most effective way to reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescribing.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

antimicrobial stewardship training (online modules, self-audit, podcasts, or face-to-face activities)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show the best way to help GPs use antimicrobial stewardship resources, potentially reducing unnecessary antibiotic use for respiratory infections.

What could go wrong

This is an implementation study, not a treatment trial. It measures how often doctors use resources, not direct patient outcomes. Results may not apply outside Australia.
