NICE: Polypharmacy and shared decision-making: development of a conversation guide

Researchers in Australia have developed and tested a conversation guide for pharmacists conducting medication reviews with older people. It addresses matters such as general health understanding, health priorities for medicines, the person’s goals and fears, views about what activities are important to them, and making trade-offs. Users found that the guide was helpful in supporting their discussions around medicines choices.
