ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES:

To explore GP perspectives on a Medicines Conversation Guide to support deprescribing communication.

METHODS:

Semistructured interviews with GPs from Australia (n = 32). Participants were purposively sampled with varying experiences and locations. Transcribed audio recordings of interviews were coded using framework analysis. KEY

FINDINGS:

Most GPs stated they would use the Guide in consultation with an older patient to discuss medications. The strengths of the Guide included empowering the patient voice on an important topic. Limitations included time and complex concepts.

CONCLUSIONS:

Overall, the Medicines Conversation Guide was perceived by GPs to be a useful communication tool to support discussions about deprescribing with patients.
