Important information for patients registered with Spilsby Surgery
NHS Lincolnshire ICB and Lincolnshire and District Medical Services (LADMS) are fully committed to ensure Spilsby Surgery patients are provided full GP services and are making positive progress to ensure patients receive this as soon as possible.
LADMS have access to the surgery’s clinical systems and are prioritising repeat prescriptions, blood test results, and death certificates.
Whilst the LADMS team set up their systems and processes, we would ask patients to follow the guidance below. Please do not contact the LADMS office directly as this will delay establishing services.
Spilsby Surgery premises:
- The current surgery premises remains temporarily closed.
- Please do not attend the surgery as no services are currently being delivered from there.
Appointments:
- If you already have an appointment booked, this will be rescheduled.
- Please wait to be contacted with updated details; you do not need to contact the surgery, LADMS will contact you.
If you have an urgent health need:
- Call NHS 111 or visit www.111.nhs.uk for advice.
- Local pharmacies can also help with minor illnesses but may experience extra pressure. Please be patient and give plenty of notice where possible.
- Dial 999 in an emergency.
- Please do not contact NHS 111 if you have a general query about the surgery.
Repeat prescriptions:
- We are currently unable to dispense any medication from the dispensary at Spilsby Surgery. We intend to reinstate this service as soon as possible.
- The Coop Pharmacy in Spilsby is currently dealing with a high number of emergency medication requests. Please only request repeat medication from NHS 111 if you urgently need it.
- If you have sufficient medication, please be patient. This will allow us to prioritise patients who need emergency medication.
Blood tests:
- If you due to have a blood test, please wait to be contacted.
- Do not attend Skegness Community Diagnostic Centre or Pilgrim Hospital Boston unless you have already received a referral form.
Flu clinics:
- The LADMS team are working hard to ensure the flu clinics at the surgery on Saturday 4th October 2025 can still go ahead. Please attend your appointment as planned unless told otherwise.
Registering with another practice:
- Please be reassured that patients remain registered with Spilsby Surgery and there is no further action you need to take.
- We would advise you not to register at an alternative surgery at this time. Full GP services will be available very soon.
