Medicine - MDT

Can someone please tell me how dietitians play an active role in an MDT?
do nurse practitioners/ advanced also have a role in an MDT?
Do you actually understand what is meant by MDT ?
Why wouldn;t Dietitiant or ACPs have a role in the MDT ?

OP shouldn’t be apologising.
If you can’t respond with anything of value, then don’t respond.

Involvement includes:

Collaborating with healthcare professionals to create personalised nutrition plans.

Assessing patient dietary needs and medical conditions.

Providing nutritional guidance to support treatment plans.

Monitoring and adjusting diet interventions based on patient progress.

Educating patients on healthy eating habits and lifestyle changes.

Playing a crucial role in the overall healthcare team to enhance patient well-being.
