This video explains Multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) - the mechanism for organising and coordinating health and care services to meet the needs of individuals with complex care needs. Learn more: https://www.scie.org.uk/integrated-ca...

The teams bring together the expertise and skills of different professionals to assess, plan and manage care jointly. Based in the community, and networked with primary care, MDTs are expected to work proactively to support individuals’ care goals.

Through accessing a range of health, social care and other community services, MDTs focus on keeping people well and independent, delivering the right care at home or in the community to prevent unnecessary hospital care.
