Abstract：
:Increasing numbers of cancer survivors and the tradition of long-term follow-up in the outpatient clinic has resulted in overcrowded oncology clinics and long waiting times. Little is known about patients' perceptions of their clinic attendance. This survey of 252 oncology patients investigated patients' satisfaction with the clinic, anxiety associated with clinic attendance and the strengths and weaknesses of the oncology service. Results demonstrated high levels of satisfaction. Far from being perceived as anxiety-provoking, the clinic was looked upon as a valuable source of reassurance, 92% of patients reporting they were 'always' or 'usually' reassured as a consequence of their visit. Qualitative data showed that clinic staff were the most important source of satisfaction. Waiting was overwhelmingly the worst aspect of the clinic, described by 27% of patients as 'excessively long'. One-fifth of the total sample had attended the clinic for 10 years or more and over a third of this group reported they would be worried at the prospect of being discharged to the care of their general practitioners. Despite disadvantages associated with long waits, the clinic was perceived as providing a valuable source of reassurance which a proportion of patients were clearly reluctant to be without.
