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.

We know that patients from more deprived areas experience more polypharmacy and may be at greater risk of harm from it.

In this masterclass we will hear from Prof Adam Todd who has led a number of studies looking at a polypharmacy and health inequalities.

We will also hear from Pharmacist Magnus Hird who will describe some of the ways his PCN have tackled the dual challenges of polypharmacy and health inequalities.

What will you learn?

  • How to address problematic polypharmacy in areas of high deprivation.
  • What the evidence tells us about polypharmacy and inequalities.

The masterclass will also include a Q&A session.

Who should attend?

Our Polypharmacy Masterclass Series is open to GPs, Pharmacists, Nurse prescribers and other interested health professionals.

This webinar will be held on Zoom from 12pm-1.30pm.
