In this report, I will be looking into how multi-agency and MTD work together to provide for
individuals needs and also my two service users: R and Jim. I will look into how it is done
and which professionals are involved
The difference between a multi-agency and a multi-disciplinary team is that multi-agency
involves various teams from different sectors such as the professionals from the NHS
working with local authorities - social workers and also professionals from voluntary
sectors. Whilst a multi-disciplinary team offer several professionals from the same service
but with different roles. Such as NHS workers - nurses, physiotherapist, paediatrician,
dietician. Multi-disciplinary working is the term applied when a team of people work
together in agreement in order to achieve something.
Multi-agency teams work collectively by bringing practitioners from various sectors and
professions within health and social care as well as organisations, to provide an effective
and in-depth way. They ensure that patients that require additional support have the right
professionals in the team. They can also contribute information, advice, supervision and
training. If a patient needs support from a speech therapist, a social worker and a health
worker, then a team of those professionals will be set up, but with the consent of the patient
and family. In health and social care, various agencies work together to efficiently help and
assist service users. This is needed as it puts the patient at the centre of attention and
offers them holistic wide-range care available. The multi-agencies work together and
produce improved coordination of services which results in better relationships and
improved referrals. Referrals can provide the individual with all the care needed from a wide
range of professionals. This is due to obtaining a higher rate of co-ordination and
understanding of the experts. This means the services users will not have to continually
repeat their issues and matters to different agencies. It also gives the individual
independent judgment to make decisions for their health from the choices and services
provided with clear information from specific expertise. Working unitedly allows agencies to
focus on their role rather than everything which may not be what they are experienced in
implementing more support and care. For example, if a patient had different needs such as
one physical need of mobility, and intellectual need for speech impairment and an
emotional need of having mental health problems. Three different professionals would work
with them. By combining all their needs and working collectively provides holistic care for
the patient.
Commissioning is the process by which health care services are planned, purchased and
monitored. They monitor services locally, nationally and internationally. There are several
key organisations responsible for the commissioning of health care services such as:
Clinical commission groups-
These are clinically-led sanctioned NHS bodies responsible for the planning and
commissioning of health care services for their local area. They commission health and
care services including hospital care, urgent and emergency care, mental health and
learning disability services. Their services include hospitals, mental institutes, GP practices,
rehabilitation centres and much more. They evaluate the health needs of the area and
commission most of the hospital and NHS services in their local area. It was formed in 2012.
It was created following the Health and Social Care Act 2012. The CCGs’ governing bodies
are made up of GP, Nurse and secondary care representatives and at least two people who
are not part of the NHS. All GP practices have to be a member of a CCG. The CCG enabled
GPs to commission services for their local community along with other health professionals.
They meet and promote individuals' needs because it involves assessing local needs,
deciding priorities and strategies to help people. The CCG helps and promotes individual
needs because they identify different problems in areas and come to solutions to provide
care and meet individuals needs by tackling difficulties. They would work with our patients
to ensure they are getting their requirements met and offered the services they are eligible
for and need. The CCG would have the role of assessing both their health conditions and
developing a plan to tackle any current complications whilst preventing any that may
occur.
