MDC meetings - a practical guide

NBCC* has developed a practical guide to establishing and running multidisciplinary meetings for cancer treatment planning, with funding from the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.

The free guide is now available to download or order online here.

The guide has been developed with input from a multidisciplinary Working Group and draws upon the experiences of those sites that participated in the NBCC’s Demonstration Project and Observational Study for multidisciplinary care, together with other national and international evidence and experience. The guide is not intended to be prescriptive but instead will provide health service providers and multidisciplinary team members with ideas and tools to improve MDC at a local level. It will be useful both for groups wishing to implement new MDC meetings and for teams who want to improve the efficiency of existing processes.

The guide includes practical advice, checklists, a range of case studies and quotations from the NBCC’s Sustainability of Multidisciplinary Cancer Care Study.

The guide is designed to be a ‘living document’. Comments on ways to improve the guide, including case studies and templates/proformas are welcomed and should be submitted via email or fax: (02) 9357 9477.

* In February 2008, National Breast Cancer Centre (NBCC) changed its name to National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre (NBOCC).
