Synopsis
Non-communicable Diseases or NCDs are the main cause of premature and avoidable mortality, morbidity and health inequalities and have major impacts on the NHS and Care services and the economy.
These diseases are caused by common determinants, aetiologies and pathologies and are interlinked and thus share common solutions.
What can doctors do to improve the public’s health and reduce this existential and exponentially increasing demand on public services and the economy, and what are the implications for their careers and professional training and development?
