New Patients

Quote / Testimonial:
Welcome to Ifield Medical Practice! You can register with the surgery if you live in our practice boundary area as shown below.

Please come to the surgery and our reception team will be pleased to help you if the form does not allow you to register.

Your registration will be processed in a couple of working days.

In the meantime, if you need medical help, you can contact your previous surgery for advice or visit the Urgent Treatment Centre at Crawley Hospital.

Register With Us

To register with us, please check you live within our catchment area; you can do this using the map below.

  • In order to keep our list size to manageable proportions we are only able to accept new patients who live within the Practice catchment area.

Once you have ensured you live within our boundary, please complete the online ‘New Patient Registration’ form.

To register a new born child you need to complete the registration forms. The Practice must also be given:
 – The baby’s NHS number
 – Hospital discharge  summary and/or Red Book

Once notified by the parent/carer or hospital of a birth we send an invitation letter for a 6-8 week check. This letter is sent approximately 7-10 days before the check appointment.

Please note that 6-8 week check invitations are never automatically sent as the practice must receive a notification from the hospital and/or parent/carer of the birth first.

Registration forms are also available from Reception at the Practice.

Overseas Visitors

Those who visit the UK from overseas must pay for their care when they are in England.

In 2015 changes were made to how the NHS charges overseas visitors for healthcare so the NHS does not lose out on income for the services these patients have received.
