A medication review (MR) is a structured and systematic evaluation of a patient’s medicines, aimed at optimising medicine use and improving patient outcomes. By identifying actual and potential medicine-related problems, MR helps to improve patient safety, treatment efficacy and resource allocation within healthcare systems.

Despite its recognised benefits, MR is not consistently implemented across healthcare settings in Europe. In response, the Committee of Experts on Quality and Safety Standards in Pharmaceutical Practices and Pharmaceutical Care (CD-P-PH/PC) has drafted the “Guidelines on medication review”, advocating for their integration into national healthcare systems to ensure the safe and appropriate use of medicines.

This webinar aims to:

• explain the principles and added value of MR with regard to improving patient care;
• highlight the different types of MR (simple, intermediate and advanced) and their appropriate application in clinical practice;
• showcase implementation strategies for MR in community and hospital pharmacy settings, with a focus on interprofessional collaboration;
• provide an overview of national approaches to MR among Council of Europe member states, illustrating best practices, challenges and opportunities for harmonisation;
• discuss the role of healthcare professionals in conducting effective MR, including pharmacists, prescribers and other members of the care team.

The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session, offering participants the opportunity to engage with experts and discuss practical approaches to integrating MR into their own professional settings.

The webinar will take place on 20 May, from 14:30 to 16:30 (CEST, Paris, France).

This webinar will be of interest to national competent authorities and policy makers, pharmacists and healthcare professionals conducting MR and health service organisations establishing medication review programmes.
