Burden and effectiveness of interventions to address overprescribing
Overprescribing, also known as problematic polypharmacy, refers to when people take too many medicines or when people do not get the full benefit from their medicines.
AIM
We aim to provide evidence to help the Department of Health, arms-length bodies, NHS and social care to make the best use of scarce resources, to maximise benefits.
Work Programme
Our main methodological research themes cover various aspects of cost-effectiveness analysis, resource allocation and allocative efficiency, and the measurement and valuation of outcomes. The work of EEPRU covers interventions in health services, mental health, adult social care and public health.
