What is it about?
The World Health Organization has developed a fungal priority pathogens list to increase awareness of the growth of antimicrobial resistance amongst commonly prescribed anti-fungal preparations. There is a need for heightened vigilance on the appropriate use and stewardship of common anti-fungal medications to prevent avoidable morbidity and mortality.

Why is it important?
The review is part of a continuing professional development series for independent non-medical prescribers and includes pharmacological and reflective questions. Completing the activities will support demonstrating competency and professional revalidation.
Perspectives
Authoring this CPD calculation skill series is a means of enhancing my professional development as an educator and independent nurse prescriber. By reviewing medications and the pharmacological management of conditions outside my usual practice, this expands my knowledge base and contributes to my teaching resources. This broader understanding makes a more effective and well-rounded professional.
