OPAT-Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy
OPAT can help facilitate earlier discharge or avoided admissions for patients on intravenous
antibiotics
This means patients can receive the treatment and care they need by delivering this service
to a patient at home, in their community setting.
Patients remain under the care of an OPAT pharmacist, medical team and specialist
community nursing staff.
