The team comprises doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals who manage the treatment of gynaecological cancers in Oxfordshire and is the tertiary referral centre for the Thames Valley Cancer Network.

The team meets every Monday to discuss, in confidence, newly referred patients with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of a gynaecological cancer. The MDT meetings offer a forum for the team members to plan and agree a recommended programme of treatment specific to individual patient needs.

This approach ensures that all necessary investigations are carried out as quickly as possible and the best available treatment is offered. Treatment options are then discussed with the patient and her family at a subsequent appointment, which is often later that week.

The Gynaecological Oncology MDT links with all those engaged in gynaecological cancer care within the Thames Valley Cancer Network via video-linked joint MDT meetings with colleagues in Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Reading and Swindon and liaises with community and primary care teams.

The Gynaecological Oncology MDT includes these core members.
