Funded Activity Summary

More than 1 in 3 Australians report having 3 or more chronic conditions and the majority of older people now take 5 or more medicines. The safety of medicines on their own, and in combination is therefore an issue of significant importance to Australia. This research will develop and assess data methods to monitor the safety of medicines after they are released on the market and then provide and assess interventions for GPs to support improvements in medicine use.
