Polypharmacy: Supporting the Pharmacist Workforce

Despite a wide variety of validated de-prescribing tools being available for use in clinical practice, active de-prescribing in primary care is generally accepted to be low. Feedback from clinicians working in this setting expressed uncertainty about where to start with developing their de-prescribing practice.

In early 2019, the AHSN launched a project call for innovative ideas, aiming to support clinicians in the delivery innovative project ideas which could co-design tools to support de-prescribing within general practices.

The aim of this event is to showcase the outputs of the six projects funded through Polypharmacy Project Call, sharing project outputs together with the resource toolkit developed on completion of each project. The event is primarily aimed at PCN Pharmacists.
