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 professional

s, 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.

Lakeside Healthcare Research has been named as one of the top recruitment sites in the region. If you would like to get involved in clinical trials, or simply find out more about their work, please follow their page.

Lakeside Healthcare Research has been named the second top recruiter for clinical studies in the East Midlands region.

The East Midlands RRDN (Regional Research Delivery Network) Research Support for Wider Care Settings, supports GP and dental practices with the delivery of clinical research.

Lakeside was second in the list of top performing sites for research recruitment in the East Midlands, with a total of 526 participants being signed up from our practices in Corby, Stamford, Bourne, Oundle and Kettering.

The accolade comes at an exciting time for the central Research Department, based at Cottingham Road Corby. It has appointed new Research Partners and has ambitious plans to develop the scope and reach of its clinical studies. It is currently recruiting for studies in Covid, COPD, asthma, cardiovascular events, unexplained cough and C-diff.

The Research Site Initiative (RSI) Scheme Recognition Awards said: ‘Being a research active Practice for patients for patients and staff also means:

· Gaining access to new treatments/ technologies

· Being empowered to take a more active role in their own care

· Increasing knowledge in health conditions

· Gaining a sense of accomplishment and achievement in supporting medical research for a condition they care about.

· Opportunities to widen knowledge and skill set, supporting continuous professional development and adding interesting elements to roles

They continued: ‘Whilst recruitment from GP Practices in the East Midlands has decreased this year compared to last year, we are still the third highest recruiting RRDN in the country. This is a great achievement and shows the outstanding work and dedication of our GP practices here in the East Midlands, who are committed to providing these valuable opportunities to their patients and staff. A huge well done and congratulations to everyone who has supported in contributing to this achievement.’

Dr Funto Ogundapo, GP Partner at Oundle Medical Practice and GP Research Champion Northamptonshire ICB said: ‘This is great news and a collaborative effort from all our GP practices and Research Hub to get the word out to patients on the Commercial and NIHR Clinical research (academic and commercial research) that is available for them to participate in! Lakeside Healthcare stands for excellence in clinical research and is supportive of our patients getting the best care under the NHS.’
