Ifield Medical Practice - Information for new patients wishing to join the doctors surgery

Noticeboard

When visiting Ifield Medical Practice, we now request that any patients over the age of 5 wear protection over their mouth and nose. This could be a mask you have bought, a homemade face covering or a scarf. This is to reduce your infection risk and to protect other patients and our staff. Our clinicians will be wearing appropriate PPE for all face to face appointments. We still advise to only come into the surgery if absolutely necessary. We thank you for your co-operation.

Practice Boundary

List current capped

We regretfully wish to inform the community that Ifield Medical Practice currently has a capped patient list. This means that with the exception of newborn babies and immediate family members living at the same address as a registered patient within our current boundary, we will be temporarily suspending all new patient registrations. Existing patients will not be affected.

This decision has not been taken lightly and has been made in the best interests of our existing patient population. It is essential that we are able to ensure that the Practice can continue to safely provide NHS services to its currently registered patients.

We thank you for your understanding and hope that we will be able to open our list again soon.

If you wish to be allocated to a surgery within the Crawley area you will need to contact Crawley CCG.
They can be contacted on 07876 843 178 or 0740 7024 498.

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.
