This document discusses a project in Oldham, England that aimed to reduce antibiotic prescribing through the use of C-reactive protein (CRP) point-of-care testing. The project provided CRP testing machines to 8 high-prescribing general practices over 6 months. A total of 359 CRP tests were completed, with 78% showing results under 20mg/L where antibiotics are not routinely needed. Based on the results, antibiotics were prescribed in line with NICE guidelines 88% of the time. Patient and staff feedback on the testing was positive, finding it aided diagnosis and reduced unnecessary antibiotic use. Further funding and adoption of CRP testing could help Oldham and other areas improve antibiotic stewardship.
