✅   Medicines support and social prescribing to address patient priorities in multimorbidity (MIDAS): protocol for a definitive, multi-arm, cluster randomised, controlled trial in Irish general practice

Health

Background There is increasing awareness of the impact of living with multiple long-term conditions (referred to as multimorbidity) on patients and health systems. Managing multimorbidity remains a challenge for primary care providers; necessitating tailored interventions that are both clinically and cost effective. In the Irish health system, two pilot trials have demonstrated promising results for patients living with multimorbidity. The first, MultimorbiditY COllaborative Medication Review And DEcision making (MyComrade), involved pharmacists supporting the management of polypharmacy, and the second, Link MultiMorbidity (LinkMM), involved link workers delivering social prescribing. This definitive trial aims to evaluate the clinical and cost effectiveness of both these interventions, as well as conduct a process evaluation.
