Abstract
The dominant paradigm in clinical medicine, public health and global health has been to split clinical practice, research, education, training and funding into communicable versus non-communicable diseases. This dichotomy was borne out of the context of colonialism and increasingly, not least during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, evidence suggests that a much closer relationship between these 'disease siloes' would be beneficial, from risk factors to therapeutics. In this lecture, the synergies between communicable and non-communicable diseases are explored in order to inform future policy and practice.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Medicine is aimed at practising physicians in the UK and overseas and has relevance to all those managing or working within the healthcare sector.
Available in print and online, the journal seeks to encourage high standards of medical care by promoting good clinical practice through original research, review and comment. The journal also includes a dedicated continuing medical education (CME) section in each issue. This presents the latest advances in a chosen specialty, with self-assessment questions at the end of each topic enabling CPD accreditation to be acquired.
