Independent assessment for multidisciplinary teams

A closer look at how MDTs work

Arcadent provides independent assessment and certification of multidisciplinary team (MDT) working in the independent healthcare sector.

The assessment brings together structured self-assessment, observation of MDT meetings and review of team participation. It examines how teams organise discussions, record decisions and support consistent working practices.

The aim is to give teams a clear account of their processes, with practical feedback to support improvement.
