Conversation: AI assisted deprescribing: What happens when clinical expertise and intuition meets machine learning?

This conversation will critically examine the role of AI-augmented tools to support pharmacists’ clinical reasoning in the complex world of deprescribing. Through real-world scenarios, participants will examine how artificial intelligence can support medicine reviews, flag deprescribing opportunities, and guide safer conversations with prescribers, patients, and families. We’ll unpack the limitations, ethical considerations, and practical pathways for integrating these technologies into everyday workflow - without losing the human element. Whether you're tech-curious or already piloting digital tools, come prepared to challenge assumptions and reimagine deprescribing through an AI-informed lens.

This conversation session will address the following learning objectives:

  • Analyse how AI can support clinical deprescribing decisions
  • Describe the potential for AI-informed tools use in medication reviews and deprescribing
  • Discuss ethical and practical considerations in AI use and clinical practice
  • Explore future opportunities to integrate AI into pharmacy workflows
