It’s been a challenging time for the NHS, with lengthy waiting lists following the Covid pandemic and hospitals being hit with a “quad-demic” of seasonal illnesses this winter.
However, despite this, patients in Derbyshire seem to be satisfied with the care they are receiving, according to the latest GP Patient Survey, produced by Ipsos on behalf of NHS England.
More than 700,000 patients in England completed the 2025 survey, which was carried out between January and March this year, and gathers information on how patients feel about their local GP.
Across the country, the majority of patients described their overall experience of their GP practice as ‘very good’ (44%) or ‘fairly good’ (31%).
