Polypharmacy and the older adult

Robertson, Deborah

Abstract

Last month's research roundup provided you with an overview of articles looking at the role and remit of physiotherapist prescribers (Robertson, 2022). This month, we will be reviewing articles concerning polypharmacy and the older adult. The first article considers polypharmacy in cancer treatment, the second looks at the area of heart failure and the role of the multidisciplinary team. Finally, we will review an article on polypharmacy and type 2 diabetes.
