What is Multi-Disciplinary Team

Chapter 9
Preparing Physicians to Lead in the 21st Century
Multidisciplinary care is used to describe the contribution of all members of a healthcare team to ensure the highest standards of shared decision making resulting in the best quality care for individual patients. The MDT varies but can constitute medical and healthcare professionals and administrative and support workers who have the same goal of positively contributing and working together. Each member makes a fundamentally unique contribution to the management of patients in the context of their personal care pathway. This is undertaken in a situational context supporting active communication and dialogue between all parties, regardless of their individual level in the organizational hierarchy.

Abstract
This chapter provides an insight into the value of tacit knowledge and how this contributes directly to the concept of human factors in the context of multi-disciplinary teamwork. In considering the notion of implicit or intuitive knowledge and how this can be taught in practice, the authors draw on the field of creative praxis as a means of harnessing knowledge from other (often under-acknowledged) signature pedagogies of direct relevance to medical practice. The authors focus on the significance of situational awareness and context of medical and healthcare provision as a means of driving debate around the value of affective domain learning and its role in 21st century physician practice. These are bracketed under the category of non-technical skill acquisition, which is linked heavily, in the published literature to date, with holistically positive patient outcomes.
