Join an interactive workshop with University of Cumbria!
This interactive session is designed for paramedics and clinicians to develop a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and consequences of polypharmacy in patients (particularly vulnerable groups). We’ll examine how multiple medications can interact to increase the risk of adverse events, falls, and hospital admissions, and explore strategies to identify and mitigate these risks in the pre-hospital setting. The workshop will also cover safe prescribing principles, recognition of medication-related harm, and holistic considerations for patient-centred care. Case-based learning will be used to consolidate your knowledge and apply best practice approaches to real-world scenarios. Delivered live by experienced educators, this session equips you with practical tools to enhance your understanding of polypharmacy.
