Why the study?
Existing joint British Societies recommendations on multidisciplinary meetings published in 2015 needed updating to reflect changes in practice.
This document provides updated guidance on the structure and function of multidisciplinary meetings in cardiac surgical centres to reflect changes in practice since 2015.
Updated MDM guidance may inform cardiac surgical centre practices; leaves open prospective evaluation of implementation and outcomes.
The purpose of this document is to update the existing joint British Societies recommendations on multidisciplinary meetings (MDMs) published in 2015 to reflect changes in practice. We aim to provide guidance on the structure and function of MDMs which should be taking place in every cardiac surgical centre. Out of scope are MDMs that do not require the routine presence of a cardiac surgeon such as electrophysiology MDMs and those which are not provided in every centre, such as complex aortic surgery.
