SafePolyMed Launches Third and Final Edition of Training on Safety in Polypharmacy

Following the success of the previous editions, SafePolyMed, under the lead of project partner LeukaNET e.V. and with support from Patvocates GmbH, is launching a third and final free online training course on safety in polypharmacy in October.

Polymedication, the simultaneous use of several medications, can cause adverse drug reactions. However, not all patients, caregivers, and patient advocates are aware of the risks and vulnerability factors. The course Safety in Polypharmacy aims to improve knowledge on these issues. It also aims to equip and encourage patients to take an active role in managing their own health. Seven separate sessions throughout October and November will inform participants about the following topics:

• Introduction to Polymedication, Tuesday October 14th, 15:00 CEST
• Drug-Drug Interactions (DDIs), Thursday October 16th, 15:00 CEST
• Drug-Gene- (DGIs) & Drug-Drug-Gene Interactions (DDGIs), Tuesday, October 21st, 15:00 CEST
• Vulnerability Factors, Thursday, October 23rd, 15:00 CET
• Patient Reporting & PROMs, Tuesday, October 28th, 15:00 CET
• Safety Signal Reporting & Digital Tools, Thursday, October 30th, 15:00 CET
• Data Safety, Privacy and GDPR, Tuesday, November 4th, 15:00 CET

Each session will take up to 120 minutes, including Q&A, quizzes, and surveys.
