In order to line up with best practice and other DHBs, the Cellulitis pathway on the Bay Navigator site has been updated.

Important changes include the removal of all IV options, i.e. a move to all-oral regimes, updates to antibiotic choices, as well as some new information resources. Note that the Acute Demand funding will not change, so 48-hour follow-up visits for grades 2 and 3 are still funded.
