They may also be described as interdisciplinary teams or multi-professional teams.

National Occupational Standards have been developed by expert groups. These have undergone a rigorous nationally determined process to achieve their status and are approved for use in vocational qualifications by the UK Commission for Employment and Skills.

To help build capacity and capability within Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) for workforce redesign, HEE has developed a suite of resources including a new Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) toolkit. This toolkit is a step-by-step guide to help progress a one workforce approach across health and care organisations and Integrated Care Systems (ICSs).

MDT working in general practice improves quality and access to care for patients, adds value to healthcare delivery and has system wide benefits for the NHS.

A multi-disciplinary team meeting (MDT) is a weekly or monthly meeting that takes place between health care professionals, to discuss individual patient cases. Every patient with a new diagnosis of cancer is discussed and their scans and biopsies are reviewed by the team.

This guidance has been developed to enable cancer multi-disciplinary teams (MDTs) to respond to the changing landscape in cancer care, as recognised in the NHS Long Term Plan and the Independent Cancer Taskforce Report.
