The latest GP Patient Survey, produced by Ipsos on behalf of NHS England, asked people across the country whether or not they found the reception and administrative team at their practice helpful.
The national average for the percentage of patients who find the receptionists at their GP surgery helpful is 83% – with a number of GP practices across Chesterfield and Derbyshire exceeding that figure.
These are some of the GP practices across the county where patients were happiest with the reception staff. This is not an exhaustive list and all data was taken from the GP Patient Survey.
