The aim of the colorectal multidisciplinary team is to provide a high quality multi professional approach offering individualised care to all patients with a colorectal cancer.
Following a diagnosis of a colorectal cancer, patients and their carers will receive support and treatment from the colorectal team.
The team is made up of a multi-disciplinary group of professional and clinical personnel whose aim is to care for patients with a colorectal cancer.
It is essential that communication is effective therefore the colorectal multidisciplinary team (MDT) hold two weekly meetings, one at Heartlands on a Monday and one at Good hope on a Friday. In this meeting we discuss all colorectal cancer patients and review the histology/x-rays/scans and other investigations patients may have had. This allows the team to decide the most appropriate treatment for individuals based on best evidence and best outcomes.
Following the MDT meeting each patient will receive an appointment to see their consultant and/or key worker(clinical nurse specialist) to discuss and plan the treatment decided by the team.
Within the Colorectal Team we have nine clinical nurse specialists. Their role is to act as a key worker and care for patients with colorectal cancer. The Nurses will provide you with ongoing support through your cancer treatment and can provide you and your carers with advice and information about investigations, procedures, treatments, support organisations and any other services you may benefit from.
