About the OPAT Project
Established by the BSAC in academic partnership with the British Infection Society, this multi-stakeholder project will support, guide and encourage the establishment of standardized OPAT services throughout the UK wherever the clinical need may exist.
The project will deliver:
- Publication of updated, peer reviewed standards for the delivery of OPAT services
- Business case models to help health professionals develop bids for local OPAT services
- Series of pilot sites to assess the proposed OPAT model(s) and measure the impact of the project (clinical effectiveness, economic impact, patient experience)
- A series of UK-wide educational workshops to inform, instruct and support those wishing to implement OPAT services in their locality
- Development of web-based educational resources to support those with, or wishing to establish, OPAT
