Preparing projects...Reducing anticholinergic medicine use in older people through collaborative research and shared learning.
For more than a decade the ACER research team at the University of Aberdeen, led by Prof. Phyo Myint, have been researching the harms of a group of medicines known as anticholinergics to the health and well-being of older people.
Our work has uncovered that many health professionals want to do more to reduce use of these medicines with older people but are unsure how to do it. We've identified that there are many good ideas being explored within our health services, but what was learned from these was not being shared.
This register showcases all anticholinergic reduction projects from across the UK, facilitating knowledge sharing, collaboration, and reducing research wastage.
Showcase all anticholinergic reduction initiatives to prevent duplication of efforts.
Connect clinicians and academics working on this important issue.
Support knowledge sharing, especially outside traditional research institutions.
Provide a resource to support development of new interventions.
Find anticholinergic reduction projects by keyword, institution, or intervention type
We welcome all research and quality improvement initiatives focused on reducing anticholinergic medicine use in older people. Share your interventions, findings, and reflections to help others learn from your experience.
The register is open to all projects, whether academic or clinical, and no matter what size or scale.
ARC-HIVE is a collaborative network of professionals (academic and non-academic) who have a keen interest in interventions to reduce anticholinergic medicine use in older people.
The network brings together researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices in tackling this critical issue affecting older people's health.
