Leading a Multidisciplinary Team Programme

Strong leadership to develop cohesive and sustainable multi-disciplinary teams (MDTs) in a primary care setting is key to supporting and empowering service users within their own communities-being seen by the right person at the right time in the right place and supporting people to live their best lives.

MDTs are the mechanism for organising and coordinating health, social care and voluntary services to meet the needs of individuals with complex care needs.

This programme will support participants to develop their system leadership skills, alongside developing an awareness and understanding of how to apply these skills to deliver true personalised care.

The offer will provide an opportunity for peer-led learning, through facilitated Application Learning Groups. These groups, in conjunction with the theory will support greater understanding of both the landscape they are working in, as well as the challenges of developing a strong, collaborative team of people from various professional backgrounds and team cultures, who are coming together for the shared aim of putting the patient at the centre of the conversation. As the programme is pan-regional, it will offer participants the opportunity of learning from colleagues across the country.

This is a pan-regional programme with a limited number of places. We are therefore keen to ensure that the right individuals have the opportunity of participating and that they have the support and sponsorship of both their line-manager and the wider system that they are working within.

Who is this programme for?

Individuals responsible for developing, facilitating and leading MDT working.

Programme Aims:

• Explore and understand the value of MDT working in the context of patient centred care, population health, placed based care and the wider landscape of Integrated Care Systems (ICS’s)

• To identify and understand the enablers and barriers to effective MDT working
• To develop wider system leadership skills in leading change, developing trust, building collaborative relationships, changing mindsets
• To explore the practical aspects of running a successful MDT-challenges and opportunities
• To work with conflict – how to manage and resolve it and make it a positive part of team dynamics
• To identify how to convey the impact and value of MDT working to the wider system-outputs, impact, measures of success, storytelling
• Support colleagues to spread learning across their PCNs and wider systems through a train the trainer approach

The programme is led and facilitated by experienced tutors from Tricordant who have significant experience of supporting and developing the Primary Care workforce.
