About
A serious game on antimicrobial resistance
To raise awareness and encourage reflection on antimicrobial, a national campaign offers an innovative educational tool built on the model of a virtual game.
Elaborated by the Infection Prevention and Control units of Vaud (HPCi Vaud) and CHUV (HPCI CHUV), the game tackles a different theme each year around best practices on antibiotic treatments.
All physicians are invited to take part in the WHO’s global antimicrobial stewardship campaign, supported by the FOPH and its StAR strategy against antimicrobial.
Development of clinical scenarios, scientific content and educational objectives
This game was developed jointly by the Infection Prevention and Control units of Vaud (HPCi Vaud) and CHUV (HPCI CHUV), along with the CHUV Paediatric Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology Unit.
The adult clinical scenarios were developed by Dr E. Ben Salah-Moulin (HPCI CHUV) and Dr E. Glampedakis (HPCi Vaud). The paediatric clinical scenarios were developed by Dr Margherita Plebani (CHUV Paediatric Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology).
