title: Clinical management. Where medicine meets management. Uneasy riders.
abstract: The NHS needs to form new alliances to address the public health challenges posed by the second Wanless report and the government's consultation paper on public health. Public health physicians need to return to clinical practice if they are to play a credible leadership role. 'Policy partnerships' could promote issues such as health inequalities.
