Ifield Medical Practice key details
Most important Ifield-specific point: appointment requests are treated the same whether you use the form, phone or reception. The practice uses your information to choose the most suitable doctor, nurse or health professional.
Ifield Medical Practice appointment routes: urgent, routine, nurse and cancellation
| Need | Best route | Exact patient detail that matters |
|---|---|---|
| Urgent appointment today or tomorrow | Use the appointment request form, phone 01293 510 900, or visit reception. | Phone/reception help is specifically useful for elderly, vulnerable patients or people without internet access. |
| Routine appointment in the next 7 days | Use the appointment request form, phone, reception, or NHS account for some screening/vaccination booking. | Reception route is listed Monday–Friday, 8am–6pm for routine request-form help. |
| Nurse or healthcare assistant | Complete routine triage with details or call 01293 510 900. | If you are due for review, the practice may invite you by text link or letter. |
| Cancel or change appointment | NHS account, Patient Access, phone, CANCEL text reply, or email if more than 24 hours away. | Email cancellation should only be used if the appointment is more than 24 hours away, excluding weekends and public holidays. |
Do not use the GP request route for emergencies. Call 999 in a medical or mental health emergency where someone is seriously ill, injured or their life is at risk.

Ifield repeat prescription rules: do not phone or email repeat requests
| Prescription task | Use this route | Patient tip |
|---|---|---|
| Order repeat prescription | NHS account / NHS App, Patient Access, repeat prescription form, or paper form at surgery. | Paper forms can be brought to surgery Monday–Friday, 8:30am–6:30pm. |
| Phone or email repeat request | Do not use this route. | The practice clearly says repeat prescription requests are not taken over the phone or email. |
| Medication query | Phone the practice pharmacist after 10am on 01293 510 900 or use medication query form. | For simple medicine questions, a local pharmacist may answer faster. |
| Collect prescription | Nominated pharmacy. | Practice says collection is usually 3 to 5 working days after ordering. |
Local practical tip: If you use the Jades Chemist / pharmacy at or near Ifield Medical Centre, still nominate it properly in the NHS App or Patient Access so your prescription goes to the right place.
Useful video: ordering a repeat prescription in the NHS App
This video is relevant because Ifield Medical Practice directs patients toward NHS account / NHS App and Patient Access for repeat prescriptions, and says repeat prescription requests are not taken by phone or email.
Video note: this is general NHS App guidance, not a replacement for Ifield’s own prescription rules. Always follow the practice website for local request forms, timings and pharmacy nomination.
