James Maskell is a healthcare activist who advocates powerfully for what he calls ‘Group Medicine’, backing it up with both the science and the experience to demonstrate its extraordinary capacity for tackling chronic diseases of all kinds, as well as a raft of psychological conditions. So effective is the group scenario, that it really doesn’t matter too much what the condition is, and while there’s still a need for a clinician to fulfil certain functions, a group is shown to be capable of addressing most of the important determinants of success, cheaply and effectively.
