Unveiling the latest deprescribing research: a new themed collection
journal contribution
posted on 2023-09-21, 08:26 authored by Sion ScottA culture of prescribing to treat long-term conditions, coupled with age-associated changes in the processes of metabolising medicine, have led to an ‘overprescribing epidemic’ amongst older adults.
