Polypharmacy and End of Life Lunchtime Masterclass

The Health Innovation Network delivers teaching and resources to support clinicians to ensure appropriate polypharmacy.

They are running an event focusing on getting medication right towards the end of life. These sessions are aimed at GPs, Pharmacists, Nurse prescribers and other interested health professionals.

Topics that will be covered include:
• How do we know when someone is approaching the end of life?
• How do we balance potential benefits of medicines with their increasing burden in someone who seems likely to die over the coming weeks or months ?
• How do we share those decisions with patients or those who care for them?
• What medications might be safely discontinued?
• Are there any medications we should not stop?
• What happens when someone can no longer take ‘essential’ medications orally?
