The use of postal audit and feedback among Irish General Practitioners for the self - management of antimicrobial prescribing: a qualitative study.

While the postal audit and feedback were broadly welcomed by the participants, the themes identified a perceived limitation in the quality of the feedback data, the perception of a likely low public health impact of the feedback and difficulties with efficiently processing the audit and feedback information. These findings can help refine future audit and feedback interventions on antibiotic prescribing.
