7. Do you have protocols and proformas for recording discussion, decision and treatment plans for each patient?

East Kent Gynae-oncology Centre - An MDT meeting Patient Summary document system has been created with minimum administrative input.

At Queen Elizabeth Queen Mother Hospital, Margate a summary document is prepared by secretaries prior to the meeting by compiling a new word file with the letter dictated at the original clinic and the letter dictated after surgery. Summary files are taken to the MDT meeting on a floppy disc and projected onto a screen. The MDT meeting summary is added to the file. The summary file is then printed, a copy going into the notes and one to the GP and other interested parties.
