As far as I understand it - release 1 ETP only involves pharmacies downloading scripts from the NHS spine and so 1 card can cover a whole pharmacy - presumably from multiple terminals as it has been seen to be operational this way.

From release 2, pharmacists will have more access and so 1 card per user will be enforced as it is in GP practices and every member of staff in a pharmacy will need their own card and password and have access rights depending on their level of need.

At this point, I would assume that a smart card would be needed at each terminal.
