‘Meet and greet’ intake appointments in primary care: a new pattern of patient intakes?

Conclusion‘Meet and greets’ are common among FPs in NS and result in some patients not being accepted into practice. More research is needed to understand the intentions, processes, and outcomes of ‘meet and greets’. We recommend that practice scope be made clear to prospective patients before their f irst visit, which may eliminate the need for ‘meet and greets’.
