About Polypharmacy: Manage Medicines

This Managing Multiple Medicines (formerly Polypharmacy) app and website provide information and tools to support healthcare professionals, patients and carers in making decisions about taking multiple medicines. It contains two toolkits:

A toolkit for healthcare professionals
This provides quick and easy access at point of care to key recommendations from the national polypharmacy guidance, including the 7-Step process for medicines review.

A toolkit for patients and carers taking multiple medicines
This provides tools and information resources to support self-management and shared decision-making by patients and professionals during consultation and medicines review. This toolkit will support patients to prepare in advance of meeting with their healthcare professional, and to follow up on key issues after the meeting.
