In order to mark the International Day of Older Persons (1 October) MOIC is organising an event to showcase research and service development in the area of Medicines Optimisation in Older People (MOOP). Medicines are the most widely used intervention in health care and are an essential component in the treatment and prevention of illness. However, there is growing evidence that people do not always receive the best outcomes from their medicines. During this event we will showcase initiatives and projects aimed at optimising medicines use in older populations.
Please register for this event by emailing: MOIC@northerntrust.hscni.net. Inform us of any dietary or special requirements that you may have.
Date: 28 September 2016, 9.30 a.m. – 1.30 p.m.
Location: Riddel Hall, Queen’s, Belfast.
