MayFest 2019: First, Do No Harm: Addressing Medication-Related Harm in Older Persons
-
This is a past event
Join Professor Phyo Myint and his team to hear about their research and discuss how best to tackle this important issue.
Some routinely-used medications have serious consequences for older adults. One example is anticholinergic drugs, used to treat common conditions such as urinary incontinence and depression. Reducing their use is an important focus. Designing a successful approach requires us to fully understand the problem and explore the views of older adults, carers and healthcare professionals.
