Deprescribing in Pain and Mental Health: An Interdisciplinary Conversation

This event will bring together a group of health researchers and practitioners to discuss the practical, social, and mental health.
About this Event

Recent years have seen a range of actors and institution begin to question the relative risks and benefits of a range of medications, such as opioid painkillers and antidepressants. This interdisciplinary conversation will bring together a group of health researchers and practitioners to discuss the practical, social, and political aspects of deprescribing, with a focus on chronic pain and mental health.

The conversation will focus in particular on how deprescribing intersects with existing and emergent health inequalities.

Please note that this event is free to attend.

This workshop is organised by The Practice Site of the Discovery Research Platform for Medical Humanities.
