Deprescribing: a journey towards optimal medication use

22 Nov 2025
Clinical Theatre 1
Clinical Practice

Polypharmacy has become one of the most pressing challenges in modern healthcare, often leading to adverse outcomes, reduced adherence, and diminished quality of life for patients. Deprescribing is the planned, supervised process of reducing or stopping medicines that may no longer be beneficial. It offers an important pathway towards safer, more effective, and more patient-centred care for all patients.

  • Practical approaches for identifying and managing potentially inappropriate medicines
  • The importance of shared decision-making and building trust with patients.
  • Real-world examples and practical strategies, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of deprescribing as an ongoing journey—one that empowers clinicians and patients alike to work towards optimal medication use and improved health outcomes.
