Abstract

Multimorbidity and polypharmacy often result in numerous interactions with different Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) and many transitions of care. Keeping up-to-date medications list in people taking medicines and/or carers can reduce medication errors at care transitions. The HSE National Quality Improvement team is working on a national medication safety campaign which encourages people to keep lists. However, there is limited information about perceptions of Patient-Held Medication Lists (PHML) in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to examine attitudes to PHML among people taking/managing multiple medicines, HCPs; and how lists are used in practice.
