The Iron Deprescribing Quality Improvement Project is led by Alex Pearson, a pharmacist in Nottingham, aiming to improve iron supplementation practices.
The Iron Deprescribing Quality Improvement Project, led by pharmacist Alex Pearson, focuses on switching from multiple daily iron doses to once-daily dosing. This improves patient adherence, reduces side effects, and aligns with British Society of Gastroenterology guidelines. The project not only enhances health outcomes but also offers environmental and financial benefits, saving CO₂ emissions and costs. It involves auditing patient prescriptions, training prescribers, and informing patients about the change, with plans for wider implementation if successful.
