ADeN aims to promote research, awareness, practice and policy for the safe and appropriate use of medicines for all Australians.
This website aims to share and exchange information about deprescribing approaches and deprescribing research with the public, health care providers and researchers.

There has never been more information available at our fingertips, but when it comes to our health, we can't take shortcuts.
In an environment where patients are exposed to conflicting, inaccurate or misleading information about medicines, health professionals play a vital role in ensuring decisions about medication use are informed, evidence-based and person-centred.
Medicines can affect each of us in different ways — pharmacists and their health professional colleagues are uniquely and expertly trained to consider the whole person in all aspects of care.

What is Deprescribing?
Deprescribing is the planned and supervised process of dose reduction or stopping of medication that might be causing harm, or no longer be of benefit.
Deprescribing is part of good prescribing – backing off when doses are too high, or stopping medications that are no longer needed.
The Australian Deprescribing Network (ADeN) acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
