Guidance on antimicrobial prophylaxis related to Caesarean Section (Retired)

This document aims to provide guidance regarding the timing and type of antimicrobial prophylaxis that should be offered to women undergoing Caesarean Section in Wales.

This resource has been retired and is no longer considered an AWMSG-endorsed resource.

The resource underwent an assessment for review in June 2024. At that time members of the All Wales Prescribing Advisory Group (AWPAG) considered it appropriate to retire the resource.

The content contained within the resource was considered to be out of date and, without an indication that an updated version of the resource would be of significant benefit to NHS Wales, AWPAG members considered it most appropriate for the resource to be retired at this time.
