 n\nThe application of the medical model\, focusing on diseases and doctors
 \, has achieved an enormous amount and will continue to do so\, but there 
 is a growing realisation that it can cause harm\, is expensive and is not 
 always effective. Doctors are responding by engaging with activities that 
 lie outside the traditional remit of medicine\; they are rethinking their 
 roles and responsibilities.\n\nRethinking Medicine is in essence about fou
 r things:\n\n• Challenging our propensity to use a disease-based medical
  model to solve problems for which it doesn’t add value\n\n• Recognisi
 ng the social determinants of illness and well-being and\, where appropria
 te\, using social interventions and community assets in place of medical o
 nes\n\n• Changing the nature of our relationship with patients\, citizen
 s and the public\, sharing expertise\, decisions and influence\n\n• Acce
 pting the responsibility of clinical professionals to create a conducive e
 nvironment in which clinical medicine is practiced.
