Are you a patient or caregiver?
Check out resources for discussion with your health care provider. Follow research and advocacy efforts on Twitter: @deprescribing for deprescribing.org and @DeprescribeNet for the Canadian Deprescribing Network.
Patients have an important role in advocating for improving medication use through deprescribing. If you are interested in sharing your story, or taking part in surveys, focus groups or interviews, or just finding out what is going on with public deprescribing education in Canada, contact the Canadian Deprescribing Network at [email protected].
Please note that we cannot offer advice regarding individual health issues. Please talk to your own health care provider.
