Pharmacy shelves stocked with medication

The course will deliver an understanding of what polypharmacy is and what drives it, the burden of treatment across the healthcare system, the opportunities and challenges presented by a patient-centred medication review and polypharmacy.

An educational grant was received by Queen Mary University of London for the production of the course.  The research that informed the materials and the costs of course production were funded by the NIHR through a Clinician Scientist Award (CS-2015-15-004). The views expressed are those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of the NIHR or the Department of Health and Social Care. Editorial and content decisions were made solely by the RCGP.”
