Please join us for Hospice UK's Big Conversation webinar on 'Deprescribing, waste and safety: where environmental sustainability meets hospice quality'
Tuesday 13th October 2026, 11:00 - 12:00
This one-hour webinar will bring together hospice colleagues from quality, patient safety, medicines management, pharmacy, medical, nursing and sustainability roles to explore how hospices can deliver safe, person-centred care while reducing avoidable medicines waste and environmental impact.
The session will use deprescribing as a practical lens for the conversation. It will combine an expert input, a hospice example and facilitated discussion to explore where sustainability and quality/safety aims align and what shared learning the sector could take forward.
Agenda:
11:00 - Welcome and Introduction (Paul Fraser, Deputy Director of Programmes, Hospice UK)
11:05 - Opening Poll (Paul)
11:10 - Deprescribing in practice – tools and pharmacist perspective (Melinda Presland, Consultant Pharmacist in Palliative Care, Oxford University Hospitals)
11:25 - QI/audit case study – learning from Myton (Dr Louise Hills, Myton, SpR, Myton Hospice)
11:40 - Facilitated panel conversation/ Q + A (All)
11:55 - Wrap up (Julia Russell, Clinical Quality Advisor, Hospice UK)
12:00 - Close
The webinar will be recorded and shared, together with any slides, shortly after the event.
We look forward to seeing you.
