• We do not accept prescriptions over the telephone.
• We accept repeat prescription requests via email bnssg.scripts.seamills@nhs.net
• If you have difficulty collecting your prescriptions from the surgery, contact reception for details of other options available, or your local Pharmacy.
• Please do not email requests as this system is not monitored daily.

Electronic Prescription Service (EPS)

EPS enables prescribers - such as GPs and practice nurses - to send prescriptions electronically to a dispenser (such as a pharmacy) of the patient's choice. This makes the prescribing and dispensing process more efficient and convenient for patients and staff.

This means you do not have to collect a paper prescription from the surgery, it is sent electronically to your nominated Pharmacy.

Please allow 48 hours for your prescription to be processed before you collect your medication from the Pharmacy.

On-line repeat prescription (eRD)

Before you can start requesting repeat prescriptions on-line you must first register your details for this service. Just ask at our reception for a Registration Form. This provides all the information needed. Then see our Prescription request page.

The first time you use this facility you have to create your account.
