eLearning modules
Do you want to support deprescribing in practice, but feel unsure about when and how to start?
The SUPPORT-Meds eLearning modules are designed to equip Australian GPs, pharmacists, nurse practitioners and nurses with practical skills, structured approaches, and communication strategies to support safe, patient-centred deprescribing in everyday practice.
The modules offer:
- interactive, self-paced education and real-world case studies that explore how to recognise deprescribing opportunities, develop tapering plans for commonly prescribed inappropriate medicines, and contribute to patient-centred monitoring and follow-up.
- high-quality, evidence-based and free education and resources, fully funded by the Australian Department of Health, Disability and Ageing. Developed by leading Australian subject-matter experts, experienced GPs, pharmacists and nurses, and consumers with lived experience—see About Us for more information
