Background: The women who were called in for further examinations after a breast screening had all their examinations and test during one day. This organization has been conducted since 1993 in this clinic, but has not previously been evaluated. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the patients’ experiences of the organization, in a radiologic breastcancer clinic, where all the examinations and the test-results were given at the same day. Method: An empirical quantitative study was performed. The study was performed in eighty-one consecutive women who had an appointment for further investigations after a breast screening. A self-administered questionnaire was designed specifically for this study and mailed to the participants. Results: All of the participants where very satisfied to have all the examinations, tests, counseling with a doctor and to see a nurse in the same day. The results included both woman diagnosed with and without cancer and independent on the type or number of examinations the women had had.
