How this fits in

Accounts of how older people incorporate their medications into everyday life are underrepresented in the existing literature. This study has helped to understand the experiences of medication use among the oldest old (people aged 97 years) to inform medication optimisation practices within primary care service delivery. This study has shown a high level of acceptance of the work associated with medications among this group and trust in the prescribers to provide the most appropriate care. Medicines optimisation should build on this trust and be presented as personalised, evidence-based care.
