Before you start reading this article, think about:

• What do I want to learn?
• What will I gain from this learning?
• What will my employer gain?
• What difference will it make to people who use my services?

This series has so far looked at what polypharmacy is, how it can be identified and how pharmacy teams can optimise multiple medicines for patients. This module offers a summary of these issues and provides activities for you to work through individually, or as a team, in order to put this new and/or improved knowledge into practice.
