The BE-SAFE podcast series has been created to spark conversations and raise awareness about the use of benzodiazepines and other sedative-hypnotic medicines (BSHs) in older adults. These medications are commonly prescribed for sleep problems and anxiety, but long-term use can carry serious risks, including falls, confusion, and dependency.Through this series, key topics are explored related to sleep health, safe medication practices, and how older people and relatives can work together with health professionals to make informed and shared decisions to reduce or stop the use of sleeping pills are explored. The episodes feature a variety of voices, sharing their experiences, knowledge, and practical advice.BE-SAFE podcasts´ aim is to inform, inspire, and empower listeners. Whether the listener is a health professional, a patient, a caregiver, or a person interested in supporting safer care, the podcast will offer insights that matter. The podcast is available in Spanish, French, German, Norwegian, Greek, Polish, and English.This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under the grant agreement Nr. 101057123, and from the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) under the contract Nr. 22.00116.
