MedsAware is SHPA’s Deprescribing Action Week, raising awareness around polypharmacy and deprescribing. Deprescribing describes the process of discontinuing medicines that are no longer required, or for which the risk of harm outweighs the benefits. MedsAware Week 2023 seeks to empower Australians and their carers, together with pharmacists with specialty skills working in care teams, to manage every medicines regime to ensure it is current, effective and safe. This webinar will provide an overview of deprescribing, including reference to deprescribing tools that can be used in clinical practice.
