Once prescribers have initiated medication regimens, there can be a reluctance to review and discontinue them. Over the past two decades in the UK, the percentage of individuals aged 65 and above on polypharmacy (five or more medications) has risen from 12–49% ( Gao et al, 2018 ). Medication can harm as well as heal, and the need for medication reviews grows as our population ages. This article is one of a series, written by a consultant nurse and a pharmacist, and aims to help readers further develop their skills in medication management.

People with learning disabilities, autism or both (PWLDA) are severely impacted by health inequalities. Health professionals report a lack of confidence and competence when communicating with PWLDA, often leading to over-prescribing medicines and poor-quality care. This article describes a collaboration between a university and the Adventurers, a group of PWLDA, to co-produce communication training as part of a prescribing training programme. Over 800 prescribers reported improved communication skills with PWLDA. The project increased the group's understanding of the healthcare system and appreciation of the power of their voice in shaping their care. The co-production model is now being adopted wider within the university. The Adventurers went on to co-design services and research studies with other organisations and, as a result, won a regional south-west co-production award.

Around 10 million people worldwide have Parkinson's and in the UK the estimated figure is 153 000. The condition is characterised by motor symptoms including tremors, stiffness, slowness, balance problems and/or gait disorders, but people can develop a wide range of associated psychological and physical problems. Treatment for Parkinson's includes a combination of multidisciplinary input from specialists such as physiotherapy, speech and language therapy and occupational therapy, alongside the use of recognised medication regimens. Most first-line medication requires titration and is started at a low dose and increased gradually, to reduce the risk of side effects and to monitor response to treatment. Medications for Parkinson's are complex to manage, and many have side effects that could affect patient concordance. Any prescribing decisions should be discussed with the person with Parkinson's and their family members. There are a variety of medications available to manage motor and non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's, but this article will focus on levodopa, dopamine agonists, MAO-B inhibitors and catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitors.
