Overprescribing Masterclasses
Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria (HI NENC) are running Overprescribing Masterclasses as part of their delivery of the HI NENC Overprescribing Programme.
These sessions are clinician facing and are open to colleagues in the North East and North Cumbria area.
The Overprescribing Masterclasses aim to help GPs, Pharmacists and Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) carry out structured medication reviews and stop inappropriate medicines.
The local masterclass sessions will be run by a Senior Clinical Pharmacist, an accredited Polypharmacy Action Learning Set trainer.
Day One Masterclass
You are invited to register to attend day one of the masterclass which will be run as a half-day session where the attendees can expect to explore all the contributing factors to this issue and experience peer learning around this complex topic.
The face-to-face are open to prescribers that work to address overprescribing and problematic polypharmacy.
- Monday 10th Feb 2025, 1 – 4pm Overprescribing Virtual Masterclass
- Monday 3rd March 2025, 12:00 – 3:30pm Overprescribing Masterclass face to face in Wigton Cumbria
- Tuesday 11th March 2025, 1–4pm Overprescribing Virtual Masterclass
- Monday 17th March 2025, 12:30-4pm, Overprescribing Masterclass face to face in Ormesby.
Please note: Prescribing data packs will be purchased by HI NENC for those registered for these sessions containing Business Services Authority (BSA) Polypharmacy comparators data. Please ensure you are able to attend if you register for this event. Please also register to attend using your employer email.
Following the session, delegates will be asked to put some of their learning into practice in addressing overprescribing in their role using resources shared as part of the masterclass.
Day Two Masterclass
Following attendance at day one of the masterclass, you will be invited to register to attend day 2 of the masterclass which will be held online usually over the lunchtime period.
On day 2 of the masterclass we invite a local Geriatrician to provide additional insight where the attendees might have questions/queries around overprescribing and are a key component in increasing clinician’s confidence to stop medicines safely in older people.
Details on how to register for this session will be emailed to you following your attendance on day one.
We look forward to welcoming you!
