Our last talk of the day-how did that happen?! 😱 Henry Woodford Providing the case about how polypharmacy is all our problems to address #G4J23 #BGSconf

How do you approach the patient on 26 medicines and has 2 carrier bags of meds on arrival to hospital to try and reduce polypharmacy?... "Symptom relief? cure? prevention?" is a great place to start! Henry Woodford #BGSconf #G4J23

A call to arms to get us all deprescribing and avoid those prescribing cascades! At the heart of it all is asking the patient "What matters to you?". Key take homes below ⬇️ Henry Woodford British Geriatrics Society #G4J23 #BGSconf
