Primary care practitioners’ perspectives on medicine optimisation for older people from ethnic minorities with polypharmacy in primary care: a realist evaluation.
Hamed N. BJGP Open 2026;:BJGPO.2025.0250.
[Older people from ethnic minority communities are disproportionately affected by the risks of polypharmacy due to higher levels of multiple long-term conditions, unequal access to care, & communication barriers. Medicine optimisation is a key approach to improving prescribing & outcomes, but how it works for older people from ethnic minority communities in primary care remains poorly understood. How, why, and under what circumstances does medicine optimisation work or not work for older people?]
