Practice points
Medicines optimisation in older people is key to allowing them to remain healthy and independent for as long as possible. By ensuring that you are taking a person-centred approach, improving adherence and identifying people who may benefit from pharmacy services, the whole pharmacy team can have a real impact on the way older people take their medicines and live their lives.
Practice point 1

Practice point 2
To further your skills around adherence and shared decision-making, why not book a place on the CPPE Consulting with Older People workshop.
