Long Term Care: Reducing medications in long-term care to meet life’s changes
Long-term care residents often end up on a lot of medication. Residents change over time. It is a good idea to re-evaluate medications to make sure they continue to be a good fit. Sometimes, medications might no longer be necessary, might be causing more harm than good, or might not line up with “what matters most” to residents and caregivers.  
The objectives of the webinar are: 
1) Understand when and why it makes sense to reduce or stop medications
2) Gain tools, skills, and confidence to ask questions and get involved in medication decisions.

Our Presenter: Wade Thompson
Wade is a pharmacist practicing in long-term care in Vancouver and an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at UBC. He is a co-lead of deprescribing.org and a member of the Therapeutics Initiative. His work focuses on supporting clinicians and residents/care partners in making medication decisions.
