S4-E38.2 - On the Importance of Multidisciplinary Teams

Send us Fan MailLast week SurfingNASH offered a final re-focus on an episode that originally aired during Season 1. Continuing on the focus around allied health, this session dives into the role of nurses, physicians and allied health professionals in supporting NASH patients - a topic of increasing relevance as the field grapples with new nomenclature for liver disease and the imminence of therapeutic approvals. Specifically, the group explores whether healthcare systems can be as effective as companies like Noom and WeightWatchers.Louise start this conversation by agreeing with Peter's comment about the importance of team care and discusses what worked and what didn't work in the liver practice at the NHS when she was there. Peter and Roger each make comments about how to advance team treatment and Stephen shares the perspective of "a passionate provider" and discusses some of his tactics for motivating patients citing two recent cases in detail.
