Your voice matters. Start a conversation about your medicines.

Health decisions shape lives. Many of these decisions begin with a conversation between you and your healthcare professional. Knowing what to say, and feeling empowered to say it, can make a big difference to your health. We offer easy-to-use tools and resources to help you talk about your medicines, ask questions, share your concerns, and feel more confident about your care.

As part of the KIND program, we have co-designed the PRIME tool with older people, people living with dementia, their carers and healthcare professionals to help you start a conversation about your medicines.

About KIND

Welcome to KIND.

At KIND, we believe everyone should have a voice when making decisions about their medicines and health. Whether you’re a person navigating your own care or you are a carer (caregiver) supporting someone else, this platform is here to support you.

We have designed KIND to help foster meaningful conversations about what truly matters with a focus on dignity, care, and kindness.

No matter where you are at with your health journey, our goal is to empower you to make informed decisions and reach your health priorities with confidence.

Feel confident about your medicines

The context

On average, an older person takes five or more medicines increasing their risk of side effects or medicine interactions
Over time, your medicine needs may change
Over time, medicines that once helped you may no longer align with your current health priorities

What can you do?

Reflect on your current health priorities, needs and values
Have a conversation with your health professional about reviewing your medicines
Remember you may choose to involve your caregiver during this process

How can PRIME help you?

Prepare for a conversation with your health professional about your medicines

Why what we do matters?

We believe every health decision matters and getting the right medicines can improve your health and well‑being.

We’re here to empower and support you, giving you and those who care for you, the knowledge and confidence you need to take control of your health and medicines.

Our mission is to provide evidence-based, expert resources on medicine management that guide and support you through your health journey. We know every medicine choice impacts your life. Being confident that the medicines you take are right for you is possible.

Featured Insights

Testimonials

“The PRIME tool is providing a step. But at the same time, it’s cleverly saying that it’s not providing detailed information about the details of medication, etc. The purpose of the tool is just to start a conversation.”

Person living with dementia

“The PRIME tool gives them [people] the permission to have the ability to have a conversation and I suppose consider to stop their medication.”
