(a) Reference category.BP: Blood Pressure; GP: General Practitioner; HDL: High-Density Lipoprotein; IT: Information Technology; LDL: Low-Density Lipoprotein; NHS: National Health Service; TC: Total Cholesterol; TG: Triglycerides; WTA: Willingness-To-Accept.All coefficients of attributes Waiting time to get a medical appointment was a significant driver of preferences, with all patients preferring waiting time on the same day (urgent) and within 15 days (non-urgent). This preference was stronger in control patients.Patients also preferred: 30-minute in private office every 6 months for BP, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides (TG) measurement and medication review of all their medicines, and full integration with protocols with physicians and ability to schedule a medical appointment via pharmacy software. These preferences were stronger for intervention patients.Since the coefficients of the chance of stroke and the annual cost to the NHS were not statistically significant, we just calculated the relative importance of the remaining attributes. Again, we confirmed waiting time to get a medical appointment had the highest relative importance (57%) followed by the model of pharmacy intervention (25%) and integration with primary care (18%).Although the coefficients of the chance of stroke and the annual cost to the NHS were not statistically significant, trade-offs between the remaining attributes were calculated to determine the WTA cost to the NHS (All else equal, WTA annual cost to the NHS for waiting time to get the requested medical appointment on the same day (urgent) and within 15 days (non-urgent) was €349.67.WTA annual cost to the NHS for 30 minutes in private office every 6 months for BP, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and TG measurement and medication review of all medicines was €316.00.WTA annual cost to the NHS for protocols with physicians and the ability to schedule a medical appointment with the GP via pharmacy software was €211.33.The total marginal WTA annual cost to the NHS for the most preferential scenario was €877 (
