Study Notes

Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) and Healthcare Leadership

MDTs lack a national standard, allowing flexibility to suit various clinical areas
Critical outcomes considered by the committee include mortality, avoidable adverse events, quality of life, patient and carer satisfaction, length of stay, and readmission
Extending multidisciplinary care, such as through board rounds, requires investment of time but may lead to cost savings in terms of reduced length of stay and readmission
Equitable and timely patient transit along therapeutic pathways is crucial to avoid strain on hospitals and reduced capacity, particularly the "Monday effect"
Human factors and safety culture are essential in healthcare, including open, just, reporting, learning, and informed cultures
MDT ward rounds show a mean reduction of 0.6 bed days and potential cost savings, but the cost impact is uncertain
Schwartz Rounds provide a forum for healthcare staff to discuss emotional and social aspects of working, reducing stress and isolation
Leadership involves providing direction, motivation, and instruction, while management involves dealing with or controlling things or people
Different leadership styles include coercive, authoritative, affiliative, democratic, pacesetting, and coaching
The NHS Leadership Framework and Leadership Academy offer learning materials and development tools for NHS staff
Many professional bodies and regulators, including the RPS and GPhC, have signed up to using the NHS Leadership Framework
The RPS also has its own Leadership Development Framework and leadership programs are available through the NHS Leadership Academy.
