Cholinergic Antagonists

The PARTNER study is a multicentre, two-arm, pragmatic cluster-randomised trial evaluating the impact of a focused and patient-centred cooperation between general practitioners (GPs) and community pharmacists (PARTNER intervention) on reductions in the use of psychotropic, sedative and anticholinergic potentially inappropriate medication (PSA-PIM) compared to a control intervention. The PARTNER intervention comprises (1) education for health care professionals, (2) an interprofessional workshop and case conference, (3) a pharmacy visit with brown bag/medication review and patient empowerment, (4) GP practice visit with shared decision making. The control intervention only comprises a pharmacy visit with brown bag review.
