The responsibilities of the MDT are to:

• nominate a team member to coordinate patient care and identify this person to the patient
• nominate a team member to be the lead clinician (the lead clinician may change over time depending on the stage of the care pathway and where care is being provided) and identify this person to the patient (if different from the care coordinator)
• develop and document an agreed treatment plan at the MDT meeting
• communicate/circulate the agreed MDT treatment plan to relevant team members, including the patient’s GP.
