Welcome to The Myeloma Minutes. This is a living library of credible information for patients of multiple myeloma and their caregivers.
During this episode, Drs Jam and Sally talk about the roles of different healthcare professionals involved in a multiple myeloma care team within the NHS, helping patients and carers understand who does what and when.
As patients, we hear of Multidisciplinary Teams and MDT meetings, but today you'll hear how these work in practice and understand how as a patient you get top class VIP treatment throughout your journey. Plus you'll hear more about the following:
-
Not just one doctor—your care involves a whole team of experts.

Discover why a specialist haematologist is central to your treatment.
-
Learn how nurses, pharmacists, and even dietitians play vital roles in your journey.
