CHARMER is a five-year (2020-2025) England-wide research project 

Situated in the ARC EoE Ageing and Multi-Morbidity theme, the CHARMER project is developing and testing an approach to support geriatricians and pharmacists working with older people and family members in hospital to stop medicines before they cause harm (proactive deprescribing).

In this first annual newsletter, we will share the background to CHARMER and our aims over the next few years. We will also include highlights from our first 18 months, including:

  • Developing a hospital deprescribing 'Core Outcome Set' (COS), which is a list of things that people think are important to measure in a hospital deprescribing trial

  • Establishing a Primary Care Advisory Group to better understand the effects of proactive deprescribing in primary care
