People living with dementia (PWD) and their carers frequently identify medication management as a challenging aspect
of care. PWD have complex drug regimens and inappropriate use can result in serious adverse outcomes. Community
pharmacies are well-placed to support carers of PWD who still live at home. PWD and their carers recognise community
pharmacists as highly accessible health professionals and as important members of the medication management team.
This interactive workshop will equip pharmacists with the competencies to better support and meet the unique needs of
PWD and their carers within their community, in terms of optimal medication management.
