REPOSI 2015 International Seminar - Targeting the burden of polypharmacy in the elderly

24.09.2015
Sigot










Milan, 24-25 September, 2015.
The purpose of this Seminar is to gather a number of European/International experts in order to evaluate the methods and procedures they have used in their clinical practice and research projects to improve multiple drug prescription. The objective is not only to decrease the risk of side effects of polypharmacy but also to improve quality of life and symptom relief in the elderly, i.e. the most important clinical outcomes in people with limited life expectancy. The Seminar’s scientific program will aim to define and categorise appropriate prescribing, to critically review the instruments currently available to measure polypharmacy and its effects, to discuss the effects of available optimisation strategies in the elderly and to suggest directions for future research and practice in the field of multimorbidity and related polypharmacy.
