EPS R2 Phases

The roll out of EPSR2 is divided into 3 separate phases which determine how prescriptions are produced (ie electronic/dual).

  • Phase 3 (Deployed Disabled) - is the default initial setting which behaves as per EPSR1 with the following additional functions available:
  • Nomination of dispensing contractors.
  • By default, prescription is Dual - paper is legal entity.
  • Prescription Manager changes.

    Phase 3 (Deployed Disabled) is automatically enabled for existing EPS 1 practices.

  • Phase 3 - By default, prescription is electronic with token. The message is legal entity. Your ICB will work closely with your practice to assist you with the transition to EPSR2 Phase 3.
  • Phase 4 - By default, prescription is electronic only. The message is legal entity and you are able to send prescriptions irrespective of nomination. Activation details for Phase 4 to be confirmed by NHS Digital.
