Safe use of proton pump inhibitors (Retired)

This document aims to highlight and help address the patient safety issues associated with the long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in adults. It includes examples of support material which can be used or adapted for this purpose.

This resource has been retired and is no longer considered an AWMSG-endorsed resource.

The resource underwent an assessment for review in June 2024. At that time members of the All Wales Prescribing Advisory Group (AWPAG) considered it appropriate to retire the resource.

The content contained within the resource was considered to be out of date and, as other UK organisations offer suitable alternative guidance (e.g. PrescQIPP and NICE), AWPAG members considered it most appropriate for the resource to be retired at this time.

If you think this resource should be reconsidered for review, please get in touch with AWTTC by emailing awttc@nhs.wales.uk.
