Patient experience

Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs) can reduce practice workload while responding holistically to patient needs, Q member and Director of the Centre for Interprofessional Education and Learning at Nottingham University Maria Kordowicz found in her recent evaluation of SMAs in general practice in Devon.

Q members, Sabrina Das and Fazeela Chharawala share a moving “HOTT Conversation”, involving a very large and complex thrombectomy team, a man who had a stroke 12 months prior, and his wife.

The Health Innovation Network’s Amy Semple shares how a Q Lab project with Mind enabled them to develop support for physiotherapists to address the psychological as well as physical wellbeing of patients.
