Prompts/cues	GPs will be prompted by the receptionist/practice manager to perform medication reviews with older patients meeting inclusion criteria when patients present for a scheduled appointment.
Modelling or demonstrating of behaviour	GPs will be provided with a video demonstration of how to perform a medication review with an older patient who is receiving polypharmacy.
