Singapore, like many developed countries, has an ageing population. There is an increasing recognition of the importance of palliative care to meet the needs of patients and their families facing life-limiting illnesses. Pharmacists play an integral part in ensuring the safe and effective use of medications.

Deprescribing has been defined as the systematic process of identifying and discontinuing medications in which existing or potential harms outweigh potential benefits, with the context of an individual patient’s care goals, function, values and preferences. This is particularly relevant in patients with life-limiting illnesses who may not reap the benefits offered by preventative medications but are burdened by the pill load and associated adverse drug reactions.

This interactive workshop will provide an insight to the palliative initiatives by the Ministry of Health and an overview of deprescribing and the considerations in patients with life-limiting illnesses, including frail older adults, patients with advanced cancer or end-stage organ disease, and patients nearing the end of life.
