Webinar: Medication Talk for Caregivers

On Thursday, March 30, 2017 from 12:00 Noon to 1:00pm, Family Caregivers of BC is hosting a webinar for caregivers. They offer the following description: “Have you ever wished you had gone into medicine or become a pharmacist?  For most caregivers, helping someone with medications is stressful and nerve-wracking. It is exactly this kind of situation that the Polypharmacy Risk Reduction Initiative, a joint venture of Doctors of BC and the Ministry of Health, has been working to remedy. Join us for this power hour webinar to hear Dr. Keith J. White, the lead for the Polypharmacy Initiative, speak about medications from the caregiver perspective.”
