The latest GP Patient Survey, produced by Ipsos on behalf of NHS England, asked people across the county what they think about different aspects of their care – including the appointment booking process.
Practices have been ranked according to the percentage of patients who rated their overall experience of booking an appointment as either good or fairly good – and these are the 16 surgeries that topped the table in Chesterfield and north Derbyshire.
