When is the right time to prescribe antibiotics—and how do you pick the right one? In this episode, Cara and Missi are joined by a clinical pharmacist, Dr. Teresa Ash, to break down the science (and the art) of antibiotic selection in midwifery. From GBS prophylaxis to upper respiratory infections, we explore when antibiotics are essential, when they’re not, and how midwives can be antimicrobial stewards without sacrificing patient safety. Smart, evidence-based, and just a little cheeky—this is the prescription for better practice. #AntibioticStewardship #MidwiferyEducation #WeHeartPenicillin #PerinatalCare #PharmacyAndMidwifery #InfectiousDiseases #MaternalHealth #SafePrescribing #AntibioticAwareness #InterprofessionalTeam
