Abstract
Potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) is associated with adverse events and hospitalisations (1). Total PIP expenditure in Ireland was estimated to be €46 million in those aged ≥70 years in 2007 (2). The EU-funded iSIMPATHY project provided an opportunity to integrate pharmacists into 10 general practice settings in border counties in Ireland, to deliver a structured medicines review service with patients with polypharmacy (≥10 regular medicines) and/or PIP. Little is known about the economic impact of pharmacists in general practice. This study aimed to assess the economic impact of this medicines review service.
