Background: Inappropriate prescribing (IP) for older people is a public health concern worldwide because of its implications for increased healthcare costs and adverse drug events (ADE). Care home residents are particularly prone to IP due to intrinsic (frailty) and extrinsic (governance and management of homes) factors. My PhD focussed on prescribing for this vulnerable population. Methods: I conducted two systematic reviews which were aimed at: 1) establishing an IP-ADE link; and 2) interpreting interventions employed to reduce IP. Additionally, I evaluated the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary intervention in reducing IP in two nursing homes (combined sample size of 143 residents) managed by one general practice. In this multidiscipli...
