This plot analyses incidental prescribing only (i.e. the first time an infection-related READ code has been recorded in the patients EHR for three months, when just one READ code has been recorded during the consultation and, when one antibiotic prescription was issued for that consultation). The plot displays the raw consultation counts (y-axis) and the proportion of consultations where the prescriptions were in agreement with the prescribing guidelines (purple) and the proportion of consultations where the prescriptions deviate from the prescribing guidelines (blue), for each infectious condition. Analysis is based on the most recent first- and second- line recommended antibiotic treatment in national guidelines (NICE; PHE: GMMMG).

In this pie chart, you can filter the prescriptions issued by each infectious condition. The chart indicates which antibiotics were prescribed for each condition that deviate from the recommended guidelines.
