Multidisciplinary teams
Patients with complex cases are reviewed by a whole team of experts to ensure the best possible care.
About our multidisciplinary teams
At Cromwell Hospital and Basinghall Clinic, we have a number of multidisciplinary teams (MDT) who work together to manage the patient's condition from a medical and health and lifestyle perspective.
We host monthly and fortnightly multidisciplinary team meetings (MDMs) chaired by our expert consultants, who will work together to plan the best and most appropriate treatment for the patient. The team is often made up of consultant physicians, surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and other applied health professionals, including clinical nurse specialists, radiographers, physiotherapists, and dietitians.
Our MDMs are run in line with the NHS guidelines and principles in which the patient's individual circumstances are taken into consideration.
