Great work (and fortitude!) from @khatter_aman describing multimorbidity, polypharmacy, and prescribing appropriateness in middle-aged adults (2014-2019) @BJGPjournal@KUMEC4KCL @Kings_SPHES https://t.co/RADtbpbyYl
Our work on inappropriate prescribing costs (PIP) in middle-aged adults has been published!

The medication costs of PIP and adequate prescribing are similar
Therefore adequate prescribing is the best choice for patients because of increased patient safety
Good quality research has been and still is essential during this pandemic. Our research found that 55% of the early, highly visible COVID-19 articles were at high risk of bias. @PatrickNRedmond

Important work led by @AmanKKhatter@PatrickNRedmond.
Potentially inappropriate prescribing not just an issue for older adults, high prevalence among middle-aged adults too, particularly in deprived areas #MedSafety
Our assessment of publishing quality early in the pandemic - Is rapid scientific publication also high quality? Bibliometric analysis of highly disseminated COVID‐19 research papers https://t.co/7bakgfm06w
Potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) is ~18% in middle-aged adults. Most common PIPs were ≥2 drugs concurrently from same pharmacological class, NSAIDs >3 mo, and PPIs above recommended dose for >8 wks https://t.co/ICIpCdQkUD @khatter_aman @FrankMoriarty@PatrickNRedmond
We're proud to see @khatter_aman present at #SAPCSE2021 today: brilliant research project looking at important area of potentially inappropriate prescribing. @PatrickNRedmond@KUMEC4KCL

“Why do you want to be a doctor?”
I answer without hesitation, “I want to help people.”
“There are many ways to help people.”
“I want to save lives.”
“There are many ways to do that too. So I’ll ask you again, why do you want to be a doctor?”
“Because I believe in it.” 1/
