This report sets out the case for prioritising working together now to address inappropriate medication use over the next decade, to ensure the quality, economic and political systems are put in place to improve medication safety for patients.

In March 2017, the World Health Organisation (WHO) launched a global challenge to address medication safety, with polypharmacy as a flagship element. A special interest group will be launched by the International Foundation on Integrated Care in May 2017.

The aim of the consensus study was to determine the levels of consensus amongst key stakeholders in the EU in relation to aspects of the management of polypharmacy and adherence in older people. Forty-six statements for the first round of the Delphi were developed from the findings generated from SIMPATHY Work Packages 4, 5 and 6, focusing on structures, processes and outcomes around the promotion of appropriate polypharmacy and adherence in older people. Consensus was deemed to have been met at 80% (summative of agree and strongly agree) for each individual statement.
