Abstract

This article explores how multidisciplinary teams and interprofessional collaboration enhance clinical practice and improve patient outcomes. Drawing on international evidence and recent studies, the article highlights the effectiveness of multidisciplinary teams in delivering coordinated care, improving diagnostic accuracy and increasing patient satisfaction. It examines the role of interprofessional education, structured communication and shared decision-making in supporting collaborative working. Key barriers to implementation are discussed, including institutional hierarchies, cultural resistance, resource limitations and variability in team structures. The article also explores international approaches from the UK, Netherlands, US, Australia and Canada, illustrating global efforts to embed collaborative care models.
