Multi-Disciplinary Team Approach to Coronary Artery Disease;
“What is a Heart Team?”13th September 2012
Wolverhampton Science Park
The Event
Black Country Cardiovascular Network
Mr Heyman Luckraz MBBS (HONS) FRCS (CTh), MDConsultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon
Dr Michael Norell MD FRCPLead Consultant Interventional Cardiologist
National and international guidelines recommend the involvement of a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) in treatment decisions for our patients with coronary artery disease. But how should such a “Heart Team” be composed, which cases should be discussed and what authority, if any, should such decisions have?
This national, one day meeting aims to explore this subject. It will examine what MDT processes currently exist across the UK so that experience and best practice can be shared. It will seek the views of cardiologists, surgeons and patients as well as other health professionals and carers involved in the management of this common condition.
By presenting actual case examples this meeting will provoke debate and lively discussion. It will demonstrate the diversity of opinion that can be generated by an MDT process and what elements serve to influence the management decisions that are finally produced.
We will question to what extent an MDT consensus has any medico-legal substance, how reliably its decisions are actually executed and to what extent those recommendations are reproducible.
This meeting is aimed at clinicians of all grades as well as senior managers and other health professionals involved in the care of patients with cardiac disease.
We very much look forward to seeing you for an engaging and active discussion in the Black Country.
