Dementia Toolkit: Appropriate prescribing of antipsychotic medication
Monday 7th November 2022
The toolkit was developed by London Clinical Networks and Yorkshire and Humber Clinical Networks, with input from a range of stakeholders including the Royal College of General Practitioners and NHS England’s Dementia policy team, and Medicines Safety Improvement programme. The toolkit aims to support appropriate prescribing and deprescribing of antipsychotic medication.
The resource has been developed to aid good practice and to help reduce variation in prescribing across England. It complements guidance available at a regional level, and provides guidance and information to address:
- uses, risks and alternatives to antipsychotic medication
- risk reduction in antipsychotic prescribing
- support for local systems to deliver best practice in antipsychotic prescribing and de-prescribing where appropriate
