#194 Antibiotic Therapeutic Guidelines Update with Dr Geoffrey Spurling

Host Dr. Rob Park joins forces with the ever-curious Dr. Geoffrey Spurling to unpack the most important updates from the recent Therapeutic Guideline on Antibiotics. Think doxycycline for kids (yes, really), a new first-line antibiotic for UTIs (if they're even needed?!), and why you might need to start counting impetigo sores. Therapeutic Guidelines is that trusty clinical bible you scroll through when faced with an unusually infected body part, a suspicious rash, or a patient seemingly allergic to everything. But did you know they've just updated many of their guidelines? And that quite a few of these changes quietly flip long-held dogmas on their heads?

It's nerdy, necessary, and surprisingly fascinating. With real-world relevance and refreshingly honest reflections (like how hard it is to dose a toddler—or remember anything after 20 years in practice), this episode will sharpen your prescribing, challenge your assumptions, and teach you how to grade diarrhoea in ways you never knew you needed.
