Enjoyable or positive

Others’ expert perspectives, support, learning

Patient care, experiences and outcomes

At times can be daunting when you are new to the team or it is a complex case. However I always find I learn more from others working this way.—Survey 5, TIPE, Dietetics, #1768

I really enjoy having others to explore reasons behind patients’ challenges and come up with creative solutions to manage these that I may not have come up with in my own. The IDT is a great source of support when working with difficult cases.—Survey 5, TIPE, Physiotherapy, #0317

Not on the same page, role/input not understood or valued

Inefficient, inconvenient, for example, time pressures, paperwork

Hard to communicate for example, availability, staffing issues, incompatible software

At times it can be very difficult when other members of the team don’t value your opinion.—Survey 3, TIPE, Nursing, #0258

Sometimes meetings take too long… you do not need a Registered house officer and a consultant at the meeting. We have real work to do and while MDTs are important you don't need all the doctors there if one knows all the patients.—Survey 3, non-TIPE, Medicine, #8376

Some collaboration with local GPs/pharmacists on the telephone to discuss patients' needs.—Survey 3, TIPE, Dentistry, #9045

My current role [in community pharmacy] does not involve many interactions as much as I'd like, but when I do I ensure to approach each situation from an interdisciplinary approach.—Survey 5, TIPE, Pharmacy, #4640
