Lunch & Learn: Appropriate Use of Antipsychotics in LTC
We can make a difference in the lives of our loved ones living in Long-Term Care (LTC) homes by rethinking the role of antipsychotics used to manage behaviors and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). When we stop to ask the question, “why?” Why are we giving this resident antipsychotic medication and what behaviour(s) are we trying to change, we can transform the experience of residents, families and staff. When staff feel they have the tools and resources to manage behaviours without medications, it can improve the quality of life significantly.
This interactive webinar with experts from Health Quality BC will introduce you to the Appropriate Use of Antipsychotics (AUA) in LTC Online Toolkit, unpacking the learnings and opportunities since recent implementation. Come with curiosity and leave with practical tools and strategies you can use to embed sustainable AUA practices into day-to-day operations.
