This report demonstrates the safety, breadth, and complexity of modern UK OPAT practice. Future analyses of OPAT data should focus on infection- and service-specific quality indicators. OPAT registries remain central to planning and assessing safe, effective, and efficient delivery of patient-centred care and should be an important focus for UK and global OPAT practice.
