Join our Practice Forum for anyone looking to develop and improve the delivery of multi-disciplinary meetings in their local area.

Working effectively with people experiencing homelessness often means working with multiple service providers. However it can be challenging to bring people together in a way that centres around the individual and enables all parties to work collaboratively.

Multi-disciplinary team (MDT) meetings bring together multiple agencies to jointly assess needs, make decisions and agree actions. Many areas have developed innovative models of MDT that use relational approaches and centre around the wishes of the person themselves.

The forum will showcase two different models of MDT. Mark Brown, Senior Operations Manager, Second Step will discuss Somerset's Creative Solutions Forums. Mark Joyce, Former Senior Responsible Officer, Changing Futures Northumbria will discuss Network Meetings.

There will also be an opportunity for participants to reflect on their own practice in small group discussion with other attendees.

You can read more about different approaches to MDT meetings on our new webpage including case study examples.
