The real Peak practice. S01e01.

A year in the life of a GP surgery in Derbyshire's Peak Park. Baslow Health Centre looks after one of England's oldest patient populations. Doctors have never been busier. What can a small rural practice teach us about some of the challenges facing every practice in the country?

A DERBYSHIRE health centre is set to be the star of a new BBC TV show which will be broadcast later this month.
Cameras from BBC East Midlands have spent a year following the doctors, nurses and patients at Baslow Health Centre, near Chatsworth in Derbyshire.

A spokeswoman for the show said: "The Peak Park has one of the oldest patient populations in the country, with almost one in three of the patients at Baslow aged over 65.
