Join Gippsland PHN and Prestantia Health in this 3-workshop program to develop knowledge, support and optimise your Practices integration of Multidisciplinary Team Care.

These education sessions are part of a structured program of three interactive online workshops designed to support general practices at varying stages of their multidisciplinary team (MDT) development journey. The program is tailored to meet practices where they are in terms of understanding, MDT maturity, and readiness for change, with content progressively informed by participant feedback gathered through targeted surveys between sessions.

These workshops will engage GPs, practice managers, nurses, and administrative staff, focusing on enhancing person-centred care and increasing service effectiveness and efficiencies of multidisciplinary team-based care

Workshop 2 – "The How" Making Teams Work - Building Trust and Effectiveness in MDT Care

During this workshop, participants will explore the principles of effective team-work, examine key enablers and barriers to MDT success within their own practice context and be introduced to practical strategies to build and sustain trust across teams. Learning will be grounded in real-world case studies and storytelling to illustrate successful MDT implementation and provide practical, actionable insights.

Agenda:

  • Update on progress and reflections since Workshop 1
  • Review and discussion of survey results
  • What does a good MDT team look like?
  • Principles of effective teams
  • Enablers and barriers to MDT care
  • Strategies to build and sustain trust

Learning outcomes:

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the characteristics and principles of effective multidisciplinary teams in general practice.
  • Analyse their practice’s current team functioning using survey insights and reflective discussion.
  • Identify key enablers and barriers impacting MDT care within their practice.
  • Prioritise practical strategies to build trust, improve communication, and strengthen team collaboration.
