Great to be involved in this study which used the 5-step tool MRS GRACE to #simplify #medication regimens in #agedcare homes! It can be used by pharmacists, GPs and geriatricians.

Check it out: doi.org/10.1016/j.saph…

Pharmacists, GPs, & geriatricians can all identify med regimen simplification opportunities, although these opportunities differ within and between professional groups. Use of the tool described here can be helpful. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Australia’s first nationwide study looking at antidepressant use in aged care homes over time ⬆️⬆️ We need to do more to support mental health & wellbeing of older people in aged care and ensure safe and appropriate antidepressant use @ROSA_Project @sahmriAU @JAMDAcom
Kudos to @UniversitySA PhD student @HughesGeorginaA who has led a new study with @mariacInacio & @JanetSluggett revealing that 6 out of 10 Australian aged care residents are taking #antidepressants. That is much higher than the general older population brnw.ch/21wHMKx
