The AMS Book describes processes for the establishment and implementation of AMS programs, as well as promoting the role of all those involved in providing and receiving health care. This includes prescribers, pharmacists, infection control practitioners, nurses and midwives, consumers, and health service managers. The AMS Book summarises current evidence about AMS strategies and interventions, and their implementation. Each chapter provides a summary of the key points and contains resources relevant to each service type.

The 2014 version of the Antimicrobial Stewardship Clinical Care Standard, for which these resources were developed, has been superseded. 

The revised 2020 Antimicrobial Stewardship Clinical Care Standard was released during World Antimicrobial Awareness Week on 24 November 2020.
