This research topic explores how to optimize medications for older adults, and how to support health care providers to safely deprescribe.

We are leading research that explores strategies to optimize medications for older adults.

Developing resources to connect family doctors and other health care providers with experts in geriatric pharmacology is a key area of work to support appropriate deprescribing.
