Abstract
To investigate patients' views and expectations when attending outpatient clinics a questionnaire-based study was performed. The questionnaires asked about appointment systems, continuity of care, staff appearance, chaperons and medical students. Patients wanted fixed appointment times, to see the same doctor on successive visits, for the staff to be formally dressed and to have chaperons during examination. The number of medical students should be restricted especially for women patients. Staff should be sensitive to patients' needs.Entities:
