01 Dec 2023 Case-based polypharmacy
We invite you to watch the presentation: Case-based polypharmacy, given at the October 2023 TI Annual Course by Dr. Tom Perry.
The aims of this practical and evidence-informed presentation are to:
- Develop/enhance a practical approach to deprescribing in outpatients & inpatients;
- See that sometimes fast, or radical action is warranted, including in hospital;
- Recognize when collaboration is essential to deal with multiple prescribers, and how to achieve it;
- Learn ideas for constructive communication to protect patients, while maintaining respectful inter-professional relationships;
- See how smart phone video recordings can help you teach these skills.
Dr. Perry co-chairs the Therapeutics Initiative’s Education Working Group and is Editor in Chief of the Therapeutics Letter. His other interests include wilderness canoeing and hiking, environmental conservation, peace and social justice issues, music, reading, and his wife (an experienced RN) and two children (geologist and NP). He likes continuous thinking and learning about medicine and drug therapy, and especially enjoys our interactions with smart and dedicated health care colleagues (students, MDs, pharmacists, NPs, nurses, PAs, and others) throughout British Columbia and around the world.
