Abstract
A Knee Infection Multi-Disciplinary Team meeting was established in Exeter. This study was designed to qualitatively evaluate the impact of the MDT on those involved. Semi-structured interviews of all members of the MDT at Exeter were undertaken and analysed using Nvivo software. Data was coded to identify common patterns and trends. The common themes identified were improved communication and standardisation of care. The main challenges identified were the timing of the meetings and funding. This study has used established qualitative techniques to evaluate the impact of the Exeter Knee Infection MDT.
