About us

Rated Good by the Care Quality Commission in all areas, Millview is a dispensing practice, based in the market town of Sleaford and the rural village of Heckington, with a registered population of just over 12,400 patients. Being only 5 miles apart, all staff work across both practices during any working week, and patients can access the full range of services at both demographics.

Our vision statement is to, work closely with patients, families and carers to deliver individual quality services that cater for the health needs of every patient. With this in mind, we are proud of a very cohesive community and the role we have supporting local residents. Regular meetings with the proactive PPG provide the opportunity for constructive feedback and we consider this an important part of shaping patient care.

The practice works closely with our PCN and our associated federation which means that we have a varied staff base of additional roles working in practice supporting day-to-day services. This includes physio, clinical pharmacists and a mental health prescriber. With a minor operation suite at Heckington, we are also able to offer regular surgical sessions.

We are a training practice and support both medical, nursing and paramedic students throughout the year receiving a great deal of positive feedback. The practice also encourages staff development, and many have been able to enhance their role by undertaking apprenticeships and other training courses.
