NHS RightCare has published the NHS RightCare Frailty Toolkit.  The toolkit provides expert practical advice and guidance on how to commission and provide the best system wide care for people living with frailty.  It will support systems to understand the priorities in frailty identification and care, and key actions to take.  It also provides a way to assess and benchmark current systems to find opportunities for improvement.

Biosimilar Medicine

Antidepressants and depression

The Royal College of Psychiatrists has published a Position statement on antidepressants and depression.  The statement calls on NICE to update its antidepressant withdrawal advice to reflect the wide range of experiences patients have.  It suggests greater focus is needed on how to assist patients who have problems when withdrawing from antidepressants and more research to quantify how many people have problems when stopping antidepressants.
