Our shared medical appointments are a unique, affordable opportunity for a small group of women to see an integrative doctor and a nutritionist (Dr Penny Caldicott & Adrian Adams).

How we run an SMA:

  • The appointment lasts for 1.5 hours, and there will be 5-8 women present
  • Before the first appointment, we review your intake form
  • Each person has time with Dr Penny for confirmation of your medical history and a brief examination
  • There is an introduction to the group and 30 minutes of education by Penny and Adrian
  • This is followed by an appointment for each woman while in the group
  • Treatment plans will be emailed to each woman after the group session

The benefits of SMAs, according to published research, are:

  • More affordable than an individual appointment (less than 1/3 of the cost) 
  • Extra time with two experienced practitioners with a more relaxed pace of care
  • Answers to questions that you might not have thought to ask (because others ask)
  • More education and attention to emotional and social issues
  • Mind and body issues addressed
  • Personalised care and appropriate privacy (private time with practitioners available as needed)
  • Enhanced practitioner-patient relationship and community building within the group
  • High levels of patient satisfaction
