Diabetic Population

The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) and the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) recognize the beneficial impact of a multidisciplinary team approach on the care of patients with critical limb ischemia, especially in the diabetic population. As a first step in identifying clinical issues and questions important to both memberships, and to work together to find solutions that will benefit the shared patient, the two organizations appointed a representative group to write a joint statement on the importance of multidisciplinary team approach to the care of the diabetic foot.

Abstract The multidisciplinary team approach to providing comprehensive care is the cornerstone of the management of musculoskeletal issues in haemophilia. At the Royal Free the team takes a holistic approach to musculoskeletal disease management that is not just about assessment of a painful knee or having an operation. It recognises that patients sit on a spectrum of musculoskeletal disease severity that is dependent on age and the type of treatments available and the issues that may have been experienced with those treatments. The patient’s own goals sit at the heart of the team’s approach.

Optimal Imaging

Echocardiography provides excellent realtime imaging of the heart, making it the imaging modality of choice immediately before, during and after cardiac interventional procedures. It helps to guide case selection and execution of the intervention, evaluates the effects of the intervention and enables early detection of complications. Advances in the design and technology of medical devices and delivery systems, coupled with demand for alternative non-surgical therapies for common medical problems, have led to an increase in the volume, variety and complexity of non-coronary cardiac interventional procedures performed. Many of these procedures require a multidisciplinary team approach and demand optimal imaging to ensure successful outcomes. The aim of this article is to review the expanding role of echocardiography in non-coronary interventional cardiology in adults.

Communication Approach

Formal assessments of cognition that rely on language may conceal the non-linguistic cognitive function of people with aphasia. This may have detrimental consequences for how people with aphasia are supported to reveal communicative and decision-making competence. This case report demonstrates a multidisciplinary team approach to supporting the health and social care decision-making of people with aphasia. The case is a 67-year-old woman with Wernicke’s type aphasia. As the issue of long-term care arose, the speech and language therapist used a supported communication approach with the patient who expressed her wish to go home. A multidisciplinary team functional assessment of capacity was undertaken which involved functional assessments and observations of everyday tasks by allied health, nursing, catering and medical staff. In this way, the patient’s decision-making capacity was revealed and she was discharged home. A collaborative multidisciplinary team approach using supported communication and functional capacity assessments may be essential for scaffolding the decision-making capacity of people with aphasia.
