Multidisciplinary Team Working toolkit

Summary of Top Tips

1. Don’t be afraid to ask other professionals about their roles and professional backgrounds – if we don’t understand each other, it’s harder to work well together.
2. Encourage your team to share insights into how the other services work – and make sure someone finds out any details no one is sure of.
3. Don’t assume that others will have been kept up to speed with changes within your organisation – be proactive in checking that they understand new initiatives and structures.
4. Incorporate some ‘socialising’ into multi-disciplinary team meetings. This helps to develop that vital personal connection. It will improve the effectiveness of working relationships.
