The Coordinator must be able to work under differing timescales and manage their own time to ensure the information is available.

To attend the MDM as part of the Core Team and to communicate complex information including patient history and diagnosis.

To record the attendance, treatment decisions, clinical history and staging discussed within the MDT meeting, both in the patients’ notes and via minutes. Outcomes should be distributed to all members of the MDT.

To ensure patient information, such as radiology and patient records, are transferred to the next stage of the pathway. The post holder will need to become aware of a number of different hospital procedures, such as how outpatient appointments and investigations are booked, referrals to other hospitals are made, etc, so the patient moves through their pathway as quickly as possible.

To monitor patients through their pathway and ensure that patients are brought back to the MDT for further discussion where necessary (i.e. after further investigations).
