MDT study plan

Map the full referral route from initial identification of a case to its appearance on a team agenda, naming the owner and the hand-off point at each step.

Build a reusable eight-minute presentation structure covering history, staging or disease status, comorbidity and fitness, the explicit question being asked of the team, and the options available.

Rehearse that structure aloud twice with a timer and cut anything that does not change the team's decision.

List the five commonest reasons a case gets deferred and write one concrete preventive action for each.

Answer 25 case-preparation and decision-making questions and record the reason behind every incorrect answer.

Rank the sources of evidence you would rely on for a typical decision and state where each sits in the hierarchy.

Distinguish recommendation strength from evidence certainty in two published guidelines and explain the difference in writing.

Apply a guideline to three paper patients whose fitness, preference, or comorbidity sits outside the trial population, and justify any deviation.

Draft the wording used to record a decision that departs from guideline default, including the rationale and who agreed.

Present one case in a peer study group and collect structured feedback on clarity of the question asked.

Draft terms of reference covering membership, quorum, decision authority, escalation, conflict-of-interest handling, and review cycle.

Classify each team role as core or extended and describe the decision rights attached to each.

Build a responsibility matrix that assigns who prepares, who presents, who decides, who records, and who communicates the outcome.

Write the escalation route for a case where the team cannot reach a decision within the meeting.

Explain in writing how accountability differs between the referring clinician, the team, and the clinician who executes the plan.

Define the minimum dataset that every team record must contain and justify each field by the decision it protects.

Compare what is recorded in a decision note against the minimum dataset and identify gaps.

Write the rule for recording dissent, uncertainty, and conditional decisions so the record remains accurate without attributing blame.

Explain the lawful basis for sharing case information within the team and the limits on sharing outside it.

Complete a timed 40-question mixed set across the domains covered so far.

Delineate where one profession's responsibility ends and another's begins for three contested tasks.

Write two short scripts for handling a boundary dispute and one for declining a request that sits outside your competence.

Apply information-governance rules to three sharing scenarios and state what may be shared, with whom, and on what basis.

Produce a plain-language patient-facing explanation of what the team discussed and what happens next.

Check your own notes against the minimum dataset and correct every omission.

Select five auditable indicators that reflect team function rather than individual performance, and define numerator, denominator, and data source for each.

Design a full audit cycle including sampling approach, data-collection tool, analysis, feedback route, and re-audit interval.

Describe how a plan-do-study-act cycle would be used to test one change before wider adoption.

Trace how governance structures receive audit findings and convert them into service change.

Draft the agenda item that would present an audit result to the team and the decision you would ask for.

Complete a 60-question timed mock under exam conditions and mark it strictly.

Present two unseen cases back to back within the time limit and self-score against a checklist.

Re-teach the two weakest topics aloud without notes to expose remaining gaps.

Rebuild your revision notes for every question missed into a single condensed sheet.

Close every item on the remediation list and record the evidence that each is now secure.

Sit a second full timed mock and compare topic-level scores with week seven.

Condense the whole syllabus into a two-page sheet you could revise from in ten minutes.

Rehearse the opening ninety seconds of a case presentation five times to fix structure under pressure.
