Understanding patients' perspectives on medicines use for better healthcare

Inappropriate use of medicines harms patients’ health and increases costs. This course shows how to involve the patient perspective to develop services towards better use of medicines.

 

The UpMe project will develop and deliver an innovative online course targeting healthcare professionals and health policy makers seeking to address the challenges of appropriate medicine use. The UpMe course will help learners incorporate the perspective of patients in their professional practice.

When healthcare professionals engage with caregivers and patients, they can base their practice on the patient perspective. The result is a better relationship between patients and healthcare professionals, more appropriate medicine use, improved patient outcomes, and reduced healthcare costs.
