Make Anticholinergic Burden scores mandatory for all over 65
Require the Government and DHSC to recommend NICE mandate ACB scoring in all medication reviews for patients over 65.
High Anticholinergic Burden (ACB) scores are linked to memory loss, confusion, falls, and premature death. Mandatory scoring during medication reviews could save lives, reduce harm, and empower families to ask the right questions. Funding should support prescriber training and awareness so patients and carers can challenge unsafe prescribing.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
