Divisional talk: 22nd February 2018, Warwick Medical School

‘Rural South African community perceptions of antibiotic access and use: a qualitative approach’

Jocelyn will speak about a qualitative sub-study at the Agincourt Health and Demographic Surveillance site in rural South Africa: one of six country sites (Africa and Asia) involved in the INDEPTH-ABACUS (AntiBiotic ACcess and Use) project. The team explored 60 community members’ experiences of antibiotics and understanding of antibiotic resistance. Results will be discussed using the five key abilities to access healthcare: seek, reach, pay, engage and perceive. The study’s findings will provide an empirical basis for informing future, patient-level context-specific social interventions for appropriate antibiotic use.
The seminar will cover:
Current antimicrobial resistance research in low- and middle-income countries Where are community member’s accessing antibiotics, if at all? Where does their antibiotic knowledge stem from? How does this compare to what the medicine suppliers are saying? How does these findings from South Africa differ one of the Asian sites?

a.) Title: Patient + Health Worker + Mobile Phone = Enhanced Healthcare in South Africa?

b). Author: Jocelyn Anstey Watkins

c.) Department: Warwick Medical School

d.) Abstract: Mobile phones can be a powerful solution to deliver healthcare in rural South Africa, by improving patient outcomes and strengthening the unsteady public health system. Enhanced mobile communication between patients and health workers may have an advantageous effect as use becomes normalized into routine clinical practice. How? Doctors are self-innovating by creating technological solutions such as an eye test app to overcome healthcare access barriers. They are responding to these barriers where resources are limited. Innovation out of necessity is driven by current poor diagnostic and referral services. National health policy needs to support local mobile health solutions.
