Online seminar: To prescribe, or to deprescribe? Managing medications in frail patients

Professor Ruth Hubbard’s team at the University of Queensland Centre for Health Services Research (UQCHSR) and the Queensland Dementia, Ageing, and Frailty Clinical Network is, in collaboration with the Queensland Dementia, Ageing, and Frailty Clinical Network, organising the next Geriatric Seminar on Wednesday 19 April between 12:30-1:30pm AEST.

To prescribe, or to deprescribe? Managing medications in frail patients
Globally, healthcare systems are challenged with providing appropriate care to patients with complex care needs, multiple chronic conditions, and multiple medications. At present, there is a lack of guidelines to inform safe prescribing and deprescribing for frail adults. This presentation will provide an overview of the current evidence related to the benefits and harms of prescribing and deprescribing medications in frail patients and how to capture patient preferences to ensure optimal care.
