Molecules, management and medical outcomes: an international review.
The first major joint conference between the Royal College of Physicians of London and the American College of Physicians was held at the Royal College of Physicians on 7-8 June 1993. The large enthusiastic audience from the UK and the USA demonstrated the cordiality which exists between the two colleges. The objective of the conference was to further an exchange of ideas about the influence of science and technology upon current and future medical practice. Four major areas were chosen for review: diabetes, viral hepatitis, cerebrovascular disease and asthma. Presentations within each area were devoted first to scientific principles, secondly to aspects of clinical management, and finally to issues of clinical outcome.
