Flyer showing a head and shoulders image of Kelly Birtwell (white woman with long brown-ish hair in a bright flowery dress. Kelly has a tentative smile- not very keen on being photographed!) and Jessica Andexer (white woman with dark hair tied up, wearing a grey top. Jessica is smiling). Kelly and Jessica will lead the mindfulness group that the flyer is about. The text on the flyer says the following: NiMiN: Neurodivergent Mindfulness Group. NiMiN is a community space for neurodivergent people to share their experiences of practice across 3 to 4 group sessions per year. Each session is 1.5 hours, and is live only - no recordings are available. This is meant to be a safe space for ND people to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking elsewhere. Attendance is free. July 27. 12pm EST. 5pm BST. Learn more and register at www.cheetahhouse.org/nimin

Tackling polypharmacy in primary care: Reflecting on learning from the IMPPP clinical trial webinar

Polypharmacy (taking five or more medications) is a major challenge facing primary care today, with implications for patient safety, treatment burden, and NHS resources. Yet there is limited high-quality evidence to guide how best to manage it in everyday practice. The Improving Medicines use in People with Polypharmacy in Primary Care (IMPPP) trial evaluated a complex, general practice-based intervention designed to reduce potentially inappropriate prescribing and improve medicines use for people living with polypharmacy. In this webinar, members of the IMPPP research team will share key findings from the trial, what worked and the challenges experienced, and how these lessons can inform future practice, service design and policy. This webinar is for everyone involved in the care of people with polypharmacy in primary care, including patients, primary care practitioners, commissioners, policy makers and researchers.
