Compliance of patients and physicians: Experience and lessons from tuberculosis II

Abstract

The author has been considering ways of influencing practising clinicians primarily from his background and experience in tuberculosis. It is important that workers with experience in other disciplines should undertake similar reviews. As with patient compliance, it is by pooling experience from different disciplines and by combining experimental and observational approaches that one can best learn how to change the practices of clinicians rather than just informing the medical profession of recent developments and current thinking.
