In preparation for EPS2; pharmacies in receipt of payment for operating the EPS1 should be operating the system on receipt of bar coded prescriptions. If the system is slow then pharmacists need to contact their system suppliers to ensure it operates at a speed which does not interfere with the efficient operation of the dispensary. To report any quality of bar code issues the contact for Peterborough PCT is Chris Roberts.
