Program about medicine use

The Peninsula Women's Health Centre is working with the Council on the Ageing to conduct a program to increase the understanding of medications.

The program will concentrate on medicine designed to improve the health and quality of life of older people.

Each year about 140,000 hospital admissions in Australia are due to medication related problems.

More than half are judged to be preventable.

The program will be run on Tuesday, February 8, from 10am to noon.

Cost of the program is a gold coin donation and the confirmation date is February 1.
