- Abstract
Multidisciplinary teams (MDT) are a well-established part of service provision and clinical care in the UK. In 2013, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Urinary Incontinence guideline recommended that MDT review should be mandatory before invasive therapy is offered to all patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and overactive bladder (OAB). Currently, there is no evidence in the literature regarding the use of MDTs in urogynaecology. The aim of this paper is to assess the potential benefits and disadvantages of the creation of routine MDT meetings for the management of urinary incontinence.
