Primary Health Tasmania, along with Consultant Pharmacy Services, have recently updated a series of deprescribing guidelines for commonly used medicines. The aim of the guidelines is to reduce the potential for inappropriate use of medication, minimise polypharmacy and improve overall patient outcomes. You can access the guidelines here.
GPs and allied health professionals are invited to attend a series of webinars in which a panel of healthcare professionals will speak to a case study and their approach to deprescribing in their field of discipline.
Webinar 3: A guide to deprescribing and pain management
1 August 2023 6.30pm – 8.00pm
Multi-disciplinary pain management programs and strategies result in better quality of life and better pain management than use of opioids alone. Please join us for a case study panel discussion on the topic of deprescribing for patients managing pain. Our panellists include Dr Marcus Gurgius (Pain Specialist) and Dr Peter Tenni (Consultant Pharmacist).
This page will be updated regularly with more information.
