Global vision, local impact: advancing out-of-hospital Antimicrobial care
11-12 March 2027
QEII Centre London & online
Welcome to the OPAT Global Summit 2027
Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) allows for medically stable patients to be discharged (or avoid admission completely) who require a course of intravenous antimicrobial agents. OPAT is a vital scheme that can prevent hospital admissions, reduce a patient’s length of stay in hospital through early discharge, plus reduce the risk of hospital acquired infections.
Our OPAT Global Summit will bring together leading clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals from around the world to share best practice, innovation, and research in Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy.
Register now and join an international community committed to advancing safe, effective, and sustainable OPAT services worldwide.
We have a limited number of grants available to Nurses and Pharmacy Technicians involved in OPAT for in-person registration at this conference. This grant covers registration only and all additional expenses must be supported. Please contact Esme Carruthers
