MDT – Multi Disciplinary Team

An MDT, or Multidisciplinary Team, is a group of healthcare professionals who work together to assess your care. In medical cannabis clinics, the MDT review your case to ensure medical cannabis is a safe and appropriate option for you.

A Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) doesn’t have a fixed number of members, but it typically includes specialist doctors and clinical pharmacists.

At Curaleaf Clinic, a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) assesses your medical history, ongoing symptoms, and overall treatment suitability to determine whether medical cannabis is a safe and appropriate option. After the MDT has reviewed your case, you’ll receive an outcome letter outlining the team’s decision and next steps in your treatment plan.

Multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) usually have a manager or leader who helps organise the team’s work. They follow a shared process to bring the team together and hold regular meetings to talk about patients they have seen in recent clinic appointments and decide whether they are currently appropriate for medical cannabis and if so what is the most appropriate medication for them. This information is recorded in a bespoke electronic health record. In addition, letters are sent to the patient, in addition to their GP and any relevant specialists, informing them of the outcome of the MDT discussions.

A Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) brings together healthcare professionals with different areas of expertise to review your case and ensure that medical cannabis is a safe and appropriate treatment option for you.
