The Network of European Researchers in Deprescribing (NERD) is a multidisciplinary research-focused network, which was founded in 2019. The network originally covered Northern Europe only (as the network of Northern European Researchers in Deprescribing), but was expanded in the end of 2021 to include the whole of Europe. NERD currently has about 100 members from 12 countries across Europe, including Belgium, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Scotland, Slovenia, Sweden and Switzerland. NERD is directed by a steering committee comprised of members representing seven countries in Europe.

Our definition of deprescribing
Deprescribing is the planned and supervised process of deintensifying or stopping a medication that may no longer be necessary, for which harms outweigh benefits, or does not align with patient goals and preferences.

Our mission and vision
We aim to generate and support collaboration between deprescribing researchers and increase the visibility of deprescribing in Europe. Further, we aim to connect researchers and practitioners to facilitate translation of deprescribing research findings into practice and improve patient care. We will achieve this by hosting regular meetings within the network, convening international conferences, and disseminating research findings and knowledge through continuing education events, conferences, research and practice journals, and social media.

#ICOD2022

We are hosting the 1st International Conference on Deprescribing – bringing together deprescribers from all over the world!

The 1st International Conference on Deprescribing – #ICOD2022 – will take place in Kolding, Denmark from September 5-7, 2022.

The conference will feature keynote lectures, workshops, oral abstract presentations, a poster session, and social activities such as a welcome reception and a conference dinner. There will be a lot of opportunity to network and connect with other deprescribing researchers, in order to develop and strengthen collaborations.
