Integration and implementation of deprescribing recommendations to reduce medication induced harm [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2025 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Older people in Australia commonly take multiple medicines for their health conditions. As people age and their health changes, medicines that were once helpful may become harmful. This research program will investigate how we can enhance treatment guidelines and use these guidelines in practice to increase discontinuation of unnecessary and potentially harmful medicines. This will lead to reduced medicine induced harm and may improve the quality of life of older Australians.
