Multidisciplinary team and clinical meeting data: JRF national survey of trainees 2015.
British Journal of Radiology 2017 December
OBJECTIVE: To collect radiology trainees' views on training for clinic-multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTMs), identify aspects requiring improvement and develop a guide to aid training. This is central to quality assurance and is within the core RCR curriculum.
METHODS: The Junior Radiology Forum National Training Survey 2015 was emailed to 1222 UK trainees. Questions related to role in MDTMs, training, use of the MDTM eportfolio tool and experience of leading meetings.
RESULTS: 611 radiology trainees responded. 22% received teaching in MDTM preparation. 29% of trainees use the eportfolio MDT assessment tool. 76% of trainees who run MDTMs have adequate preparation time. 18% always review cases with a consultant prior to a meeting. 7% of trainees always debrief with a consultant. 9.7% have been asked to lead an MDTM which they did not feel comfortable with. Most trainees think trainees should be running MDTMs post FRCR2B.
CONCLUSION: There are currently deficits in teaching and consultant supervision when trainees are learning to participate in MDTMs. Formal teaching sessions and timetabled preparation/debrief time with a consultant should be available. Trainees should not be asked to lead meetings without adequate support. This also ensures a safe MDTM environment for the patient. The eportfolio assessment tool can be used to sign off competence levels before independently leading an MDTM. Advances in knowledge: These results suggest shortfalls in the current model for preparing radiology trainees for their central role in clinico-MDT meetings. Using this data, a guide for trainees has been written to address these deficits.
