Multidiscipline team meetings
Northern Cancer Service
The Northern Cancer Service runs several Multidisciplinary team meetings (also known as MDT’s or MDM’s). The purpose of these meetings is to ensure expert, comprehensive, patient-centred care plans are established for patients. These meetings are attended by Consultant Oncologists, Medical Specialists, Surgeons, Pathologists, Radiologists, Cancer Care Coordinators, Social Works and Allied Health team members.
General Practitioners are invited to attend patient discussions at MDT meetings, the patient's GP is notified of the presentation date and time, as well as the outcomes of the meeting.
To add a patient to an MDT please email or phone 6777 6101 or visit Cancer Care Coordinators.
If you require clinical support regarding an MDT, please contact the Cancer Care Coordinators at the W.P. Holman Clinic on 6777 6140.
