The APOLLO-MM team have enjoyed a virtual outing to an international conference entitled Chronic Living: quality, vitality and health in the 21st Century in sunny (so we were told!) ‘Copenhagen’. We convened two panels of presentations on Living with Polypharmacy and were joined by scholars from around the world to discuss polypharmacy from an anthropological perspective, several of them bravely giving their presentations in the middle of the night from their different time zones.
