Innovating for health: patients, physicians, the pharmaceutical industry and the NHS
In the delivery of healthcare, all these groups must interact to produce an effective and high-quality outcome. The interaction is not always an easy or harmonious one and there are potential conflicts between providers and purchasers. Ian Gilmore (PRCP) decided that this topic should be examined constructively with the objective of improving and sustaining improved patient care. The working party report, chaired by Richard Horton (Editor-in-Chief of the Lancet), has now been published. The report draws on wide ranging expertise and has no fewer than 43 specific and innovative recommendations. There is clear evidence of a positive way forward to resolve conflict and restore harmony in a constructive and open manner. The report is available to buy from the Publications Department and more details can be found at www.rcplondon.ac.uk/pubs/brochure.aspx?=270
