DESCRIPTION:Interdisciplinary research has the potential for great synergy
 \, and some tension.  In this lecture I consider the nature of the relatio
 nship between psychology and clinical medicine as it pertains to academic 
 research\, drawing on examples of work that is ongoing at Cambridge.  With
 in this\, I examine the kinds of contributions that psychology can make to
  clinical and public health research.  For example\, considering the evide
 nce for harms arising through false reassurance among diabetes screening a
 ttenders\, or the psychological and behavioural impacts of a polypill.  In
  the second half of this lecture I reflect on the importance of leadership
 \, and disciplinarity.  I consider the potential roles available to psycho
 logy\, and the importance of theory.  Finally\, I consider what it is that
  psychology might offer for future research in clinical and biomedical sci
 ence.
