Overprescribing Virtual Masterclasses AH

Health Innovation North East North Cumbria (HINENC) are running Overprescribing Masterclasses as part of their delivery of the HINENC Regional Overprescribing Programme.

The Overprescribing Masterclasses aim to help GPs, Pharmacists and Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) carry out structured Medic*tion reviews and stop inappropriate medicines.

The online Teams sessions are open to all staff that work to address overprescribing and problematic polypharmacy.

The local masterclass sessions will be run by a Clinical Pharmacist and accredited Polypharmacy Action Learning Set trainer.

These sessions are clinician facing and are open to colleagues in the North East and North Cumbria area.

Prescribing data packs will be purchased by HI NENC for those registered for these sessions containing Business Services Authority (BSA) Polypharmacy comparators data. Please register using your employer email.

Important to Note:

Following the session, delegates will be asked to go undertake a structured Medic*tion review with a patient using the shared decision-making techniques covered during the session. If you are not responsible for undertaking Medic*tion reviews, we ask that you consider how you can incorporate your learning at into practice as a consequence of attending the session.

Day Two Masterclass

On day 2 of the masterclass we invite a local Geriatrician to provide additional insight where the attendees might have questions/queries around overprescribing and are a key component in increasing clinician's confidence to stop medicines safely in older people.
