Systematic Reduction

Guided by the principles of conversation analysis, we examined the communication practices used to negotiate levels of participation in cancer multidisciplinary team meetings and their implications for patient safety. Three cancer teams participated. Thirty-six weekly meetings were video recorded, encompassing 822 case reviews. A cross-section was transcribed using Jefferson notation. We found a low frequency of gaps between speakers (3%), high frequency of overlaps (24%), and no-gaps-no-overlaps (73%), suggesting fast turn transitions. Securing a turn to speak is challenging due to a systematic reduction in turn-taking opportunities. We contribute to group research with the development of a microlevel methodology for studying multidisciplinary teams.

National guidance for cancer multidisciplinary teams recommends streamlining cases according to clinical complexity and guidelines. This article explores how the existing knowledge base and resources, accumulated since the introduction of multidisciplinary teams, can help to improve their effectiveness.

Multidisciplinary Team Meetings

Hospitals worldwide have taken unprecedented steps to cope with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Changes to services created challenges for delivering training in urology. Statutory education bodies implemented processes addressing trainee progression, but the extent of training disruption has not been quantified. To establish the impact on urology trainees in the West of Scotland, online questionnaires were sent to trainees and educational supervisors. Twenty-five trainees working at six hospitals across four health boards responded. Elective operating was significantly reduced, with 64% of trainees having no weekly sessions. Before the pandemic, the majority of trainees (92%) had one or two clinic sessions or more per week, but with new measures, 76% of trainees did not attend clinics. Trainee attendance at multidisciplinary team meetings halved during the pandemic. Sixteen per cent ( n=4) of trainees were redeployed, with 50% ( n=2) reporting no educational benefit. Commonly used alternative educational resources included webinars (52%) and online teaching modules (28%). Thirty-two per cent ( n=8) of trainees had examinations postponed. COVID-19 has impacted urology training in the West of Scotland, with a significant reduction in training opportunities across elective theatre, clinic exposure and education. However, trainees will be more adaptable, learn to work remotely, have opportunities to develop leadership and may help redesign services for the future of urology. Level of evidence: Not applicable.

Multidisciplinary Team Meetings

We describe a rare case of hypopharyngeal liposarcoma with an atypical presentation. The patient presented with a 3-month history of intermittent, transient acute airway obstruction. In between episodes, he was asymptomatic. A pedunculated tumour originating in the postcricoid region was seen to be suspended into the oesophagus and intermittently regurgitated into the larynx to cause airway obstruction. The lesion was endoscopically removed and examined histologically to confirm the diagnosis. On-going management of rare lesions such as this should be through multidisciplinary team meetings at a tertiary sarcoma centre.
