ePACT2

Product landing page redesign

We have released a new version of the product landing page. This revamped portal offers similar content to the current portal page but features a new NHS design refresh to improve navigation of the site. User access to data products remains unchanged.

Go to the new landing page.

If you’re an active user of the portal, we hope you enjoy the exciting new changes. Join in and share your feedback

Understanding ePACT2 data

Data is available 6 weeks after the dispensing month.

An explanation of the fields held in the system is available on the Data Dictionary (Excel: 53KB).

You can use the age logic summary flowchart (PDF: 205KB) for information on how patient age is determined in ePACT2.

ePACT2 contains data down to single prescription level. If you have access to this level of data, remember that you cannot share confidential data outside of your organisation. For this reason, you should read and agree to the ePACT2 User Agreement as part of the registration process.

A range of training materials are available for ePACT2. These are tailored to our different types of users and include written and video guides.

You can also book ePACT2 training webinars with the training team.

You can also sign up to our ePACT2 user forum where you can get useful advice, updates on ePACT2 improvements and discuss ideas with other ePACT2 users. Go to the NHS Futures platform to request access to our forum.
