“Failure to manage the consequences of treatment can have a significant impact on patients and on the NHS, so it makes sense to design and commission pathways and services that minimise consequences and address need.” National Cancer Survivorship Initiative, 2013

Virtual MDT (vMDT) – a definition
A virtual MDT meeting involves participants who may, or
may not, be part of a permanent team and who interact
with each other non-simultaneously using shared clinical
data. They may operate at a local or a national level and
their remit is not necessarily confined to tumours
presenting at a particular anatomical site.

vMDT Project: testing the
concept 2013-2014
![Page 10: Dr Lesley Smith, Macmillan Cancer Support](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61fe89d0f605a76f9857b2b6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Phase 1 Project: 2014 results
• 12 adult patients treated for childhood cancer • Ave. 4 specialties consulted per patient (range 1 - 8) • Expert contributors spent ave. 20 minutes per case • User survey: o 91% felt the vMDT offers a valuable service to patients o 82% could see it being useful in the future
• Figures suggest that if the vMDT saves 1 outpatient appointment per referral then it will pay for itself

“…A very interesting and useful way to offer an MDT
approach if one is not available locally.”
“…A vital initiative that has allowed my patients
access to expertise not normally available to
them.” “…A good way of getting
additional advice for these complex patients – sharing
expertise is generally a good idea and this is one forum in
which it can be done.”
