Why attend?
The Health Innovation Network Polypharmacy: Getting the Balance Right Programme aims to support local systems and primary care to identify patients at potential risk of harm and support better conversations about medicines by promoting shared decision making.
People with a learning disability die 20 years younger than others and are often given multiple medications, including being 16 times more likely to be prescribed psychotropic medications. Stopping over medication of people with a learning disability and autistic people (STOMP) and supporting treatment and appropriate medication in paediatrics (STAMP) are everyone’s business, and this masterclass will focus on your role in supporting with structured, holistic and person-centred medication reviews.
Our Guest Speakers are; Dave Gerrard, Health Improvement Pharmacy lead, Learning Disability and Autism, NHS England; Carl Shaw, Learning Disability and Autism Adviser, NHS England; and Alisa Watson, Expert by Experience Co-worker, Health Improvement Team, NHS England and NHS Improvement.
The masterclass will also include a Q&A session.
