Multidisciplinary teams exist in a variety of different settings. The question is how well developed is the team and how effective does the team function? Some teams suffer from barriers such as professional mistrust, issues with confidentiality, lack of support from administration, and overall lack of knowledge of what team members may bring to the table. In this interactive workshop, participants will examine the strengths and barriers of MDTs, how improved communication and collaboration foster a healthy environment for team collaboration, and help team members navigate tough discussion that have the ability to impact the clients we serve.
- Participants will Identify the members and roles of an MDT and how a lack of communication and/or collaboration can affect clients
- Participants will explore the strengths and weakness of MDT model
- Participants will understand the process of forming an MDT
- Participants will describe ways communication and collaboration can assist in the development of effective teams for the safety of the client
