Deprescribing demystified: Optimising care through shared decision and multidisciplinary collaboration

Join us for the last episode of Season 1! We hope you’ve enjoyed the conversations as much as we have – and Season 2 is just around the corner! So, without further ado…

Join hosts Jo Lane and Hayley Berry as they navigate deprescribing – the process of safely reducing or stopping medications that may no longer be beneficial. Joining them are two esteemed experts: Clare Howard and Jonathan Underhill, who share their wealth of experience and practical insights.

You’ll walk away with actionable guidance on deprescribing initiatives, shared decision making and the collaborative roles of multidisciplinary teams.

The discussion explores:

The urgency and importance of deprescribing in managing polypharmacy for older adults
Shared decision making as a cornerstone for person-centred care
Strategies and tools, such as the Polypharmacy Comparators and structured medication reviews, for prioritising and managing deprescribing efforts
Real-world examples of deprescribing preventing patient harm and improving outcomes

Tune in for an enlightening discussion filled with expert advice, practical tips and inspiring stories that showcase the transformative potential of deprescribing in modern pharmacy practice.
