Seamless Service

Multidisciplinary team (MDT) working has been endorsed as the main mechanism to ensure truly holistic care for patients and a seamless service for patients throughout their disease trajectory and across the boundaries of primary, secondary, and tertiary care. However the effectiveness of each team needs to be continually evaluated to ensure that all the relevant disciplines are able to participate in the clinical management of patients. This article describes the work of the Cancer Services Collaborative at the Birmingham Women's hospital in the UK in promoting the development of a holistic MDT in parallel with the medical model.

AbstractObjectivePlatinum-based chemotherapy drugs are associated with substantial ototoxicity. The hearing of children treated with these drugs should be closely monitored.MethodA questionnaire was sent out to the 19 audiology departments associated with national paediatric cancer specialist centres in the UK looking at current practice in ototoxicity monitoring.ResultsResponses were received from 17 of 19 centres (89 per cent). All offered some form of audiometric monitoring service. Extended high-frequency testing (9–20 kHz) was only utilised by 7 services (29 per cent). A majority of respondents were reluctant to consider self-test devices in paediatric ototoxicity monitoring (n = 9; 53 per cent). Provision of long-term audiological follow up is sporadic with only 4 (23 per cent) respondents keeping all children with normal hearing under review once treatment is completed.ConclusionWhile some good practice in paediatric ototoxicity was identified, opportunities exist to improve clinical practice and protocols, promote multidisciplinary team working and to utilise technologies such as extended high frequency and self-test audiometry.

Institutional Review

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand the perceptions of a multidisciplinary health team in caring for hospitalized children and adolescents with psychological repercussions of sexual violence, in the light of Symbolic Interactionism Theory. Method: this is a qualitative study, carried out with 30 professionals from the multidisciplinary health team working in a general public hospital in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The interviews took place between June and July 2019, using a semi-structured questionnaire and, after being recorded, the reports were transcribed. In analysis, the data were categorized by similar themes following the steps: pre-analysis, material exploration, treatment of results and interpretation. The project was approved by an Institutional Review Board. Results: among the psychological disorders presented by children and adolescents are aggressiveness, mutism, eating disorders, infantilized behavior, hypersexualized behaviors, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic episodes, and delusions. Conclusion: the study demonstrates the perceptions resulting from the interaction allowed in caring for the multidisciplinary team to children and adolescents who experienced sexual violence and developed psychological disorders. In this way, it raises warning signs for family members, health professionals, education, protective devices and the whole of society about the need to observe signs of these changes on a daily basis, seeking to investigate their possible relationship with sexual assault.

Specialist Nurses

Working in the specialty of respiratory medicine and thoracic surgery offers an interesting, diverse, and wide-ranging choice of excellent opportunities for an appealing and fulfilling career. The specialty includes over 30 different medical conditions of which some are common and some relatively rare so there is ample opportunity to subspecialize as well as to take a more generalist pathway. Nurses in this specialty are often members of a multidisciplinary team working with other specialist nurses, consultants, general practitioners, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, pharmacists, and respiratory technicians. This chapter gives a brief overview of the nurse’s role in respiratory medicine and thoracic surgery and their position in a multidisciplinary team in acute settings or within the community. The desirable qualities for a respiratory nurse are outlined, and the relevant training courses and study days are covered.

Discordance Rate

Lymphoma diagnosis is complex, requiring a wide array of adjunctive tests to reach accurate diagnoses. We retrospectively examined the rates of concordance between referral and review lymphoma diagnoses on cases referred to St James’s Hospital, Dublin for multidisciplinary team review between 2013 and 2016. Frequency and cost of adjunctive diagnostic tests performed were also analysed. The overall discordance rate was 7.8% (14/179), compared with rates of 6%–48% in the published literature. 13 discordant cases required a change in clinical management following review of the referred diagnosis. Of all referred cases, 33.5% (60/179) required extra analyses to reach a final diagnosis, costing the reference laboratory €35463.40. We conclude that establishment of centralised haematopathology diagnostic networks would help reduce the rate of revision made to lymphoma diagnoses by providing specialist haematopathologist input and access to ancillary testing.
