Today we launch our six week Polypharmacy campaign of learning. We hope by now you have received your Polypharmacy distance learning programme.
Our first task asks you to Start at home. Think about a family member or friend who is taking lots of medicines. Have a conversation with them about the impact this has on their life. Ask them if there is one thing you could do to make their medicines less of a burder. Together, identify one priority issue that you could tackle. Listen to our podcast from a patient who is taking multiple medicines, and listen to what his priorities are.
This year you will also have the chance to earn a virtual badge, to recognise the achievement of completing all six challenges in the campaign. The badge will be displayed on the Badges collection page on the My CPPE section of the website and there will be chances to earn additional badges in the future.
We’d love to hear some of the priority issues you identify, so share your findings on Facebook Twitter by using the hashtag #polypharmacy and tagging us @cppeengland.
