Tackling polypharmacy in primary care: Reflecting on learning from the IMPPP clinical trial webinar Polypharmacy (taking five or more medications) is a major challenge facing primary care today, with implications for patient safety, treatment burden, and NHS resources. Yet there is limited high-quality evidence to guide how best to manage it in everyday practice. The Improving Medicines use in People with Polypharmacy in Primary Care (IMPPP) trial evaluated a complex, general practice-based intervention designed to reduce potentially inappropriate prescribing and improve medicines use for people living with polypharmacy. In this webinar, members of the IMPPP research team will share key findings from the trial, what worked and the challenges experienced, and how these lessons can inform future practice, service design and policy. This webinar is for everyone involved in the care of people with polypharmacy in primary care, including patients, primary care practitioners, commissioners, policy makers and researchers. Contributors: Dr Jenny Scott, Senior Lecturer & Pharmacist, Centre for Academic Primary Care, University of Bristol (Chair) Dr Deborah McCahon, Senior Research Fellow, Centre for Academic Primary Care, University of Bristol Professor Rupert Payne, Professor of Primary Care & Clinical Pharmacology, Exeter Collaboration for Academic Primary Care, University of Exeter

The recording of our webinar 'Tackling polypharmacy in primary care: Reflecting on learning from the IMPPP clinical trial' is now available!
