EP 117 :: De-prescribing Medications in Elderly Dementia Patients :: Dr. Sion Scott

Tune in as Dr. Sion Scott of the CHARMER research project talks with Bobbi & Mike about the risks and benefits of de-prescribing medicines that your elderly loved one with dementia may no longer need. It is so important to talk to the doctor about whether or not a medication that has been used for many years is still the right fit.

Dr. Sion Scott is an academic hospital pharmacist with the University of Leicester. His research aims to support healthcare professionals to collaborate with older people and their carers to make sure that they are getting the most out of their medicines and that they are not taking any that they don’t need or might cause them harm.

You can find Dr. Scott on the CHARMER website and follow him on Twitter.
