Danielle Adams – Pharmacist and PhD Student at the University of Warwick is undertaking a Delphi study in deprescribing psychotropic medications in people with learning disabilities and is keen to recruit some learning disabilities nurses with an interest in the subject to participate. 

This will involve completing a questionnaire – taking approximately 20 minutes and helping to prioritise the themes until a consensus is found. It is envisaged that this activity will be complete by the end of November 2024.
