There is a growing awareness of the potential over- and inappropriate use of psychotropic medications, such as antipsychotics and other sedatives, in older people, especially those with dementia.
DTA provides a consultancy service that assists residential care providers to ensure that their use of antipsychotic medications is aligned with recommended practice.
The Medication Management Consultancy is only offered as a component of a DTA Tailored Training Package, and its availability is linked to the initial Training Needs Assessment.
The Consultancy utilises a flexible delivery model that integrates into other quality use of medicines programs currently implemented within residential aged care environments.
