#MedsAware 2024 is all about driving conversations šŸ—£ļø This year's theme seeks to empower older Australians, Australians living with a disability, and their carers, to ask health professionals: 'Could any of these medicines be doing more harm than good?' Ask because you care. šŸ’Š

There are too many medications being taken for too long unnecessarily. Opioids are considered high risk medications and I personally find difficult to deprescribe. What other medications do people find difficult to deprescribe?
Medicine safety is a national health priority 250,000 Australians are admitted to hospital each year due to medicines-related harms, many of which are preventable; we need to break this cycle #MedsAware2023 #DeprescribingActionWeek @DeprescribeAU @the_shpa
