Webinar: Taking multiple medications? Know which five questions to ask
Learn how to ensure your medications are necessary and helping you.
Are you or someone you care for taking multiple medications? In Canada, one in five adults aged 40 to 59 years old take three or more medications, and two-thirds of Canadians aged 65 years and older take at least five. Whatever our age, ensuring that all the medications we take are safe and effective is essential to protecting our health.
In recognition of Canadian Patient Safety Week 2025 (taking place from October 27 to 31), join Dr. Emily McDonald — physician specializing in patient safety and Director of the Canadian Medication Appropriateness and Deprescribing Network — for a live, interactive webinar.
In this webinar, participants will:

- Hear a real-life story from a patient, Laurent, who experienced side effects and how he took action to solve these issues
- Learn what to ask a healthcare provider about the risks and benefits of taking multiple medications
- Get access to a free new tool to help start the conversation!
