EPS Phase 4 Roll-out

Written by admin on Wednesday 23rd October 2019

Rollout to begin with TPP SystmOne GP system from 18th November


NHS Digital will be rolling out EPS Phase 4 to additional GP practices using the TPP SystmOne GP system from 18th November 2019, so all community pharmacy teams should be aware that they could start to receive EPS Phase 4 tokens from patients to process.

GP practices using the TPP SystmOne GP system will have Phase 4 rolled out in the coming weeks, with dates for EMIS, Microtest and Vision GP practices to be decided shortly. The start of the national rollout follows a successful pilot which tested the functionality in all four GP prescribing systems.

Under EPS Phase 4, patients can choose to take their token to any pharmacy in England. If you receive a Phase 4 token, simply scan the barcode and dispense it as you would any other electronic prescription
