Opening Hours

 

When we're open

The surgery times shown below should only be used as a guideline as to the Practice's planned consultation times. Consultations are by appointment only. Please make a separate appointment for each member of the family that requires attention. If you are unable to keep an appointment please let us know, even at short notice, as an urgent case may then be fitted in.

The Sheepmarket Surgery is open for prebooked appointments only on a Saturday morning.

Car park users at both Sheepmarket and St Mary's sites are required to share their registration details with reception to prevent getting a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). This can be done on screens in reception. If you need any help with these then please ask.

Enhanced Access

Local GP Practices work together as Primary Care Networks to offer evening and weekend appointments.  Stamford Surgery, together with The Hereward Practice in Bourne, are part of the Four Counties Primary Care Network that is required to provide enhanced access appointments between the hours of 6:30pm to 8pm Mondays to Fridays and 9:00am to 5:00pm on Saturdays. 

As enhanced access will be delivered at a PCN level – not every practice has to be open from 8:00am to 8:00pm Monday to Friday and every Saturday from 9:00am to 5:00pm. Practice core working hours will remain the same, however, there are pre-bookable appointments available to patients outside of these hours. These appointments will be offered across the Primary Care Network, and you will be advised at the time of booking where your appointment will be. As the practice may not be physically open during these hours, patients will be unable to have general queries answered or dealt with during enhanced access opening times. Please be aware, your appointment may be a telephone call, video call or a face-to-face appointment but again, you will be advised at the time of booking.

Please note, our dispensary opening times remain the same (closing at 6:00pm each evening and closed on a Saturday).
