Deprescribing unpacked: tools, tips and tough cases | Online

Hosted by Support-Meds

Why deprescribing matters
Approximately one in ten medicines used in primary care is estimated to be inappropriate, and around half of older Australians are exposed to at least one high-risk or unnecessary medicine. Deprescribing offers an opportunity to reduce this burden, but it can be challenging to implement in routine practice. This webinar for healthcare professionals working in primary care explores practical approaches to safe, person-centred deprescribing.
