Extended Access Appointments

The Practice offers early morning Practice Nurse review appointments from 7.30am

We are pleased to be able to offer our patients access to routine, pre-booked appointments at evenings and weekends from Monday 10^th September.

The new service is part of an extended access service which has been commissioned by NHS South West Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group.

Extended hours run between 18:30 and 20:00 weekdays and 09:00 and 12:00 Saturday and Sunday and are available on bank holidays and across the Easter, Christmas and New Year periods.

Appointments are for pre-bookable, non-urgent consultations with GPs and Nurses.  Examples of these include chronic illness, asthma checks and routine GP appointments.

The service is being delivered at Sleaford Medical Group and managed by a federation of GPs in the Sleaford area.  This means that your appointment could be with a health professional from any of the federation practices.

To arrange an appointment, please speak to our patient navigators

When booking an appointment you will need to consent to a Consulting Clinician that may not be your own GP viewing and updating your health record.
