Mrs Frances Garraghan

Lead Antimicrobial Pharmacist, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust

Fran is the lead antimicrobial pharmacist for Manchester University Foundation Trust. Working in Manchester has allowed Fran to specialise in the management of resistant infections in all age groups including paediatrics.

Fran is dedicated to ensuring that antimicrobial stewardship becomes the norm and not just something we all think about once a year during world antibiotic awareness week.

Fran is now working on a “Commonwealth Partnerships for Antimicrobial stewardship scheme” project in Uganda which aims to improve antimicrobial stewardship in a large referral hospital.
