Iwade Health Centre Repeat Prescriptions and Appointments
26/03/2025 00:00:00
As a patient at Iwade Health Centre, we went to say hi and to get a guide to appointments and prescriptions and reception were very helpful so here goes.
Repeat Prescriptions - the easiest way to order repeat prescriptions is by downloading the NHS App. If you are not confident in doing this please pop into the practice and a member of staff will be able to assist with this. Written requests for repeat prescriptions can be made using the external practice post box or prescription slips are available at the practice which when completed can be posted in the internal prescription box or handed to a member of staff. Please note the practice does not accept repeat prescription requests via email.
Doctor's appointment - you either need to use
Anima (on the web), call at 8am on 01795 413100 or go in at 8am so Iwade Health Centre can organise for you. Note if you do this you may miss on the day appointments where they are released at say 7am. Once Anima is at capacity you will have to wait until the next day. If you are not registered with Anima recommend calling or popping in to find out the process.
Nurse's appointment - you can book through Iwade Health Centre, pop in or call them on 01795 413100
Hub appointments - on a Saturday all day. There is no set routine for when these appointments become available but you can ask the surgery. These are not just for Iwade Health Centre patients so there is higher demand.
Southern Water Leak Update!
26/03/2025 00:00:00
Remember this?! It's not over yet!
Thank you to Iwade Parish Council for passing on this Southern Water leak update - "Further investigations are ongoing, but our process scientist has reviewed two sets of results and (one from a tap and one from the puddle of water) and it is possibly the same source of water. This could indicate a leak on our smaller 3-inch main, instead of the 18-inch main.
Leakage detection develops all the time and we now have access to new detection kit, which we are vey keen to try in Iwade in the coming weeks.
Residents may notice an increased presence in the area over the next few weeks. As part of our checks, we will be shutting off the water for approximately 30 properties for three hours. A date for this hasn’t been confirmed yet, but once it has, we will make those properties aware with advance notification."
