“Deprescribing – is less more?” was the theme of this year's annual scientific meeting organised by the Prescribing and Research in Medicines Management (PRIMM) group, held in London in January. The meeting covered a range of topics relating to deprescribing, including a seven‐step deprescribing model, identifying patients with polypharmacy problems, and providing individualised prescribing.
