Acceptability and value of shared medical appointments in a non‐<scp>general practitioner</scp> specialist context

Shared medical appointments (SMAs) are a holistic model of care utilised internationally; however, experience in Australia is nascent. This study evaluated the experience of SMAs in an ambulatory non-general practitioner specialist context in Australia. The main qualitative themes centred around Sharing (vicarious learning, safe sharing environment) and Service Provision (model/facilitation team satisfaction). SMAs present a model of care that addresses the quintuple aims of healthcare. Uptake requires clinician and patient education, a framework for implementation and economic modelling and incentives.
