Non-adherence should not be seen as the patient’s problem. It represents a fundamental limitation in the delivery of healthcare, often because of a failure to fully agree the prescription in the first place or to identify and provide the support that patients need later on. Addressing non-adherence is not about getting patients to take more medicines per se. Rather, it starts with an exploration of patients’ perspectives of medicines and the reasons why they may not want or are unable to use them. Healthcare professionals have a duty to help patients make informed decisions about treatment and use appropriately. | PFRME LMK100SW PFR MEDICAL ADVANCES AND ANIMAL RESEARCH The contribution of animal science to the medical revolution some case histories MEDICAL ADVANCES AND ANIMAL RESEARCH THE CONTRIBUTION OF ANIMAL SCIENCE TO The medical REVOLUTION SOME CASE HISTORIES PUBLISHED BY RDS Understanding Animal Research in Medicine and Coalition for Medical Progress 2007 RDS represents scientists in the public and political debate about the use of animals in medical research. info@ Coalition for Medical Progress an alliance of organisations with the common aim of ensuring the UK continues to lead advances in human and animal medicine explains why animals are used in medical research. info@ CMP MEMBERS Academy of Medical Royal Colleges Academy of Medical Sciences Amicus Animal Health Trust Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry Association of Medical Research Charities AstraZeneca B K Universal BioIndustry Association Biotechnology Biological Sciences Research Council Biosciences Federation British Pharmacological Society Covance Eisai Genetic Interest Group GlaxoSmithKline Huntingdon Life Sciences Institute of Animal Technology Laboratory Animal Science Association Laboratory Animal Veterinary Association Lilly Medical Research Council Merck Sharp and Dohme Novartis Patients Voice for Medical Advance Pfizer Physiological Society Prospect RDS Royal College of Physicians The Russell Group Sanofi Aventis Sequani Society of Endocrinology Wellcome Trust Wyeth PICTURE CREDITS Cover All images Wellcome Photo Library except mouse dog and monkeys Institute of Animal Technology and sheep RDS.
