In his presentation, Professor Marshall will describe the rationale, background and development of Rethinking Medicine as a new professionally-led movement.

PLEASE BOOK YOUR PLACE

The application of the medical model, focusing on diseases and doctors, has achieved an enormous amount and will continue to do so, but there is a growing realisation that it can cause harm, is expensive and is not always effective. Doctors are responding by engaging with activities that lie outside the traditional remit of medicine; they are rethinking their roles and responsibilities.

Rethinking Medicine is in essence about four things:

• Challenging our propensity to use a disease-based medical model to solve problems for which it doesn’t add value

• Recognising the social determinants of illness and well-being and, where appropriate, using social interventions and community assets in place of medical ones

• Changing the nature of our relationship with patients, citizens and the public, sharing expertise, decisions and influence

• Accepting the responsibility of clinical professionals to create a conducive environment in which clinical medicine is practiced.

This talk is part of the Primary Care series.
