PROMOTING SAFE AND APPROPRIATE USE OF MEDICATIONS
FOR ALL CANADIANS

The Canadian Medication Appropriateness and Deprescribing Network is a group of clinicians, educators, people with lived experience, policymakers, and researchers. We work together to produce, share, and apply information to promote the safe and appropriate use of medications.

This report represents a significant step in our commitment to reconciliation, encompassing the vision, guiding principles, and a 5-year action plan for decolonizing and Indigenizing the network.
