Unit 5: Meeting Individual and Support Needs
D.P7 Explain the roles and responsibilities of different members of the multidisciplinary
team in meeting the needs of specific individuals.
A multidisciplinary team (MDT) is a group of health and care workers from various
organisations and professions (e.g., GPs, social workers, nurses) that collaborate to make
treatment decisions for individual patients and service users. MDTs are utilised in both
healthcare and non-healthcare situations (transform.england.nhs.uk). A service provider's
successful multidisciplinary collaboration leads to better services and results for the client.
This is facilitated by the team's comprehensive approach to care, which considers all of the
patient's needs and options. Collaboration across disciplines can aid in avoiding
overlapping roles and duties. To guarantee that the preferences of the service user are
respected, the team must collaborate to detect possible conflicts among specialists or
among the service provider and the user. To address a person's health and social care
needs, you must be knowledgeable of the distinct duties and responsibilities of various
health and social care specialists working in a multidisciplinary team
(saffeunprdappstorage).

individuals with care and support needs
Billy would benefit from having a doctor keep note of his medical history, monitor him, and
listen to and respond to his concerns. One of his concerns is that he is unable to see,
making it difficult for him to see and read signs. This is required so that the doctor may
address Billy's ailments and prescribe medication to speed his recovery. This is done so that
he can return home and live independently like he did previously. Social workers can help
Billy find a solution to his homelessness. They primarily work in hospitals, nursing homes,
and social care settings. They safeguard the disadvantaged and can assist Billy in living
freely as well as with his impairment.
Billy is given comprehensive care by a doctor who works with other experts. The doctor
provides particular information to the social worker in order to track Billy's health
improvement. For example, Billy's doctor may confer with his social worker on strategies to
assist Billy live independently. This means that all three health and social care professionals
are working from the same set of facts about Billy and can offer him with the best care
possible. The benefits include the fact that these professionals will feel more easiness
working with others compared to working alone, in addition to the knowledge they will
gain about how their own specialisation interacts with that of others and enhance holistic
