Colorectal multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) enhance patient care, morale, and training. However, many colorectal surgeons (CRSs) and clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) lack adequate job plan time for MDT attendance, an issue needing resolution.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Care
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) are crucial in cancer care.
  • Limited research exists on colorectal surgeon (CRS) and clinical nurse specialist (CNS) perceptions of MDTs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess CRS and CNS views on MDT functioning.
  • To evaluate the role of CNSs within MDTs.

Main Methods:

  • A national cohort of 253 CRSs and 177 CNSs participated.
  • Data collected via ad hoc postal questionnaires.

Main Results:

  • 96.5% believe MDTs improve colorectal cancer patient care quality.
  • 78.6% found MDTs boost morale; 80% improved training.

  • Over 50% of CRSs and 35% of CNSs reported insufficient job plan time for MDTs.

    • Conclusions:

    • CRSs and CNSs perceive significant benefits of colorectal MDTs for patient care, training, and morale.
    • Inadequate job plan allocation for MDT attendance is a key concern requiring attention.
