However, the term med-ical was felt to be insufficient in describing the range of interventions used to treat chronic , the term instructions implies that the patient is a passive, acquiescent recipient of expertadvice as opposed to an active collaborator in the treatment particular, it was recognized during the meeting that adherence to any regimen reflects behaviour ofone type or another.
