MDT Coordinators

The MDT co-ordinators are responsible for entering all patients with a suspected cancer onto the Somerset Cancer database. This system then allows the co-ordinators to track the patients through out patients, diagnostics and co-ordinate results for discussion at Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) meetings to determine the best outcome decision for each individual patient. 

The role of the co-ordinators is to ensure that patients are tracked proactively in line with cancer performance targets and to prevent breaches of required time frames. In addition they collect local data required for cancer performance targets and escalate any significant issues.
