NCT00977678

Brief Summary

The capacity for endoscopical procedures in the Norwegian health system is low in comparison to demands from patients and family practitioners. The studies aim is to evaluate the acceptance of a new concept: an open access gastroscopy clinic where patients can attend without a preceding appointment. The investigators wish to evaluate:

  1. 1.Patient´s satisfaction.
  2. 2.General practitioner´s satisfaction.
  3. 3.Acceptance by the staff of the clinic.
