Multi-Disciplinary Teams in Australia and New Zealand
For patients, MDT care improves:
- Survival rates
- Efficient and timely progression from diagnosis to treatment
- Care in accordance with clinical practice guidelines
- Access to more ‘whole of patient’ care with expert input from a number of highly trained specialists and allied health professionals
- Information access
- Satisfaction
- Opportunity for second opinions
- Access to research trials.
For clinicians, MDT practice:
- Reduces service duplication
- Streamlines management pathways
- Enhances communication and co-ordination
- Provides educational opportunities
- Improves patient outcomes
- Increases research opportunities
- Provides support where decision-making may be difficult.
Following are summaries of the local MDTs and their contact details in Australia and New Zealand. Most are staffed by many of our ANZHNCS members.
