Seaford Medical Practice

Repeat prescriptions

You can make a request for a repeat prescription by either:

 

  • Posting your request to Seaford Medical Practice, Dane Road, Seaford BN25 1DH
  • Hand deliver your request to the Prescription Box at the front door of the Health Centre
  • Leave your written request with the local pharmacy of your choice
  • Via the Practice’s website – using Patient Access – see box opposite on this page
  • Via email using the following address:  sxicb-esx.prescriptionrequests-seafordmedicalpract@nhs.net

 

PLEASE NOTE:  We cannot take requests for prescriptions over the telephone.

 

When ordering your repeat medication from the pre-printed proforma, please indicate the items you require by marking them clearly with a tick.   If the item you require is not on the list, please add, but allow an extra day for these items to be processed.
The Practice participates in the ELECTRONIC PRESCRIPTION service. We encourage patients to collect their medication and new prescription directly from a local chemist of their choice, rather than the Health Centre. This provides a quicker prescription service to the patient and means less waiting time at Reception for patients for other queries. Once you have advised our Reception team which pharmacy you would like to collect your prescriptions from, all future repeat prescriptions will be sent electronically to that pharmacy.
Processing times for routine prescriptions are 3-4 working days but please note this can be affected by busy periods, such as bank holidays, etc.
Please order all the medication you require at the same time.
Repeat prescriptions are not processed at the weekends, so prescriptions left at the Health Centre on Friday may not be ready until the following Wednesday or Thursday.
Please do not order your medication earlier than two weeks before you need it, without a written reason why, i.e, you are going on holiday.

Our Prescription Team has a ‘phone-in time every day from 10.30am-11.30am and 3.15pm-4.15pm, via the Prescription Team’s direct number is 01323 493106.  This line is strictly to deal with queries regarding prescriptions only – we are unable to take requests for repeat prescriptions.
