Of respondents, 30 (73%) were EMP<\/jats:styled-content>, nine were involved in ED<\/jats:styled-content> and wanted to contribute to the survey and two were neither. Thirty\u2010four (83%) had a hospital AMS<\/jats:styled-content> programme. All other questions had 29 respondents. Twenty\u2010three of 29 (79%) had an AMS<\/jats:styled-content> committee, and 14\/23 (61%) had an ED<\/jats:styled-content> representation. Twenty\u2010eight of 29 (97%) had a restricted antimicrobial policy. Twenty\u2010one of 29 (72%) had a specialist AMS<\/jats:styled-content> pharmacist, and 12\/21 (57%) were involved in the ED<\/jats:styled-content>. Eleven of 29 (37%) had ED<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010specific antimicrobial guidelines. A variety of electronic AMS<\/jats:styled-content> support is available in EDs<\/jats:styled-content>. EDs<\/jats:styled-content> had access to a hospital antibiogram (6) and used it to inform AMS<\/jats:styled-content>. Point prevalence surveys often involved the ED<\/jats:styled-content>. EMP<\/jats:styled-content>s were involved with antimicrobial education via ward rounds (6) and didactic sessions (7), guideline development (4), and monitoring of ED<\/jats:styled-content> antimicrobial prescribing, 21\/29 (72%). Multiple ways of controlling ED<\/jats:styled-content> antimicrobials were used including: providing a limited range of after\u2010hours antimicrobials, predetermined trauma packs, review of ED<\/jats:styled-content> stock and follow up of restricted antimicrobials.
