The Stamford Surgery Sheepmarket and St Mary's Sites

The Stamford Surgery Sheepmarket and St Mary's Sites Welcome to The Stamford Surgery. Patients are at the heart of what we do and we couldn’t do it without our extensive team. About Lakeside Healthcare!

Our close-knit team of GPs, nurses, allied health professionals, administrative and reception staff provide healthcare services at both Sheepmarket and St Mary’s practices. Our team works collaboratively to provide healthcare services at both Sheepmarket and St Mary’s practices in our beautiful and historic town. We are fortunate to have a close-knit team of GPs, nurses, allied health professionals, administrative and reception staff, who are all dedicated to providing the best possible service for our community. We are lucky to have so many experienced and long serving colleagues, plus newer staff who are committed to a career in Primary Care. We have an experienced management team who deal with the daily running of our practices and our patient service advisors are there to help whether you have a medical concern or administrative query. They are very busy so if your enquiry can wait until after 11am each day then that would be appreciated and should save you time either waiting on the telephone or in our reception areas. We engage regularly with patients through our Patient Participation Group, taking their views into account where possible when making changes and listening to their views, issues and ideas. We also have productive working relationships with the Integrated Care Board and Care Quality Commission and make improvements as and where we can. As well as our daily work in surgeries we also work in the local community, making home visits, providing healthcare for residents in local care homes and offer advice and support on lifestyle and non-clinical issues with our Personalised Care Team of care coordinators and social prescribers. We are busier than ever so thank you for your understanding while we continue recruit, train and develop our team and working practices to see as many patients as we can safely. Stamford Surgery is a part of Lakeside Healthcare, a large GP partnership that provides NHS care for around 170,000 patients across Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and Northamptonshire. We are made up of eight GP practices across 14 sites that are all part of their local communities. We work together as practices to provide resilience, sharing learning and professional back-office support services. Our most important asset is our people, who provide care for our patients and help run our surgeries smoothly. We employ over 500 clinical and non-clinical staff and we invest in training and developing to ensure that we retain and attract good quality staff who want to stay with us and be part of our team. We also host a clinical research team who run high quality clinical trials and studies to support the development of new medications and preventative treatment for long-term conditions. We are proud of what we do and strive to demonstrate our values of Caring, Respect, Quality and Teamwork in everything we do.

Well done to Mel Hill, who has achieved her General Practice Assistant qualification with Distinction.

She passed the two-year GPA course after moving career from education to healthcare, and is a great advocate of life-long learning.

She said: ‘I put my heart and soul into it ...and now I just want to do a really good job for the practice ... We are never too old to learn and it is never too late for a new start.’

🚗 Please help us keep car parks available for patient care

We’ve noticed more people using our car parks at Sheepmarket Surgery and St Mary’s Medical Centre when they’re not visiting for healthcare. This makes it harder for patients to find a space when they need care.

If you’re visiting us for an appointment, collecting medication, dropping off a request, or speaking with our team, please use the patient car park.

The check-in tablets in reception have now been removed. When you arrive, just let our reception team know your number plate and they’ll register your vehicle for you.

Parking times have changed at both sites:
• 15 minutes to register your vehicle
• 45-minute maximum stay

If your visit takes longer than 45 minutes, just let reception know before you leave and we’ll make sure everything is updated so you don’t have any issues such as a parking fine.

If you’re not visiting for care, please help us keep spaces available for patients by using alternative parking. This really helps those with mobility needs, long-term conditions, or limited time.

You can find public parking options in Stamford here: www.southkesteven.gov.uk/carparks.

Thank you for helping us make access easier for our patients.

We’re supporting Healthwatch Lincolnshire’s major new study that takes the pulse of health and social care in Lincolnshire.

By completing this survey about your recent experiences at anywhere from your GP and dentist to hospital care or a care home, you will help to create a detailed picture of the state of healthcare in Lincolnshire. This will be used as evidence of what areas need attention.

Everyone in Lincolnshire is eligible for the survey, so please share far and wide: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/IJWFDL.
