-Assurance is central to building a BaRS solution, inherent in both documentation and tooling. 
+Assurance is central to developing a BaRS compliant solution.
 
-The assurance process exists to ensure solutions are compliant with the Standard and robust enough to interoperate with each other in a Live environment. The rationale for stringent assurance is to ensure solutions who have never engaged before will work with each other. BaRS is a truly interoperable Standard that will work across many areas of the Health & Care space and certain solutions may interact infrequently.
+The assurance process ensures solutions adhere to the Standard and are compatible with each other when they integrate in the production environment. This guarantee of compatibility is essential to enable interoperability between healthcare systems, which BaRS supports and encourages through dynamic, real-time, service discovery.
+
+The purpose of assurance is to:
+* Validate conformance to the requirements and specifications of the Standard
+* Assess higher-risk and/or complex workflow scenarios, to ensure technical and clinical readiness
+* Serve as a final quality assurance checkpoint prior to deployment to Production
+
+There are limitations to this (self) assurance process, which does **not** extend to: 
+* Validation of every individual workflow scenario or minor message variation within an assured solution
+* Review of all message content against the Standard, either visually or through tooling. This **must** be included in supplier's functional testing 
+* Regression testing of supplier solution to ensure that existing functionality has not been adversely affected

+Step 3: The above steps enables access to the APIM platform. To authorise the access to the BaRS Proxy (which is hosted on the APIM Platform), you must provide the following to the BaRS Team (via email <england.bookingandreferralstandard@nhs.net>):

 Every service receiving messages through BaRS will need their ServiceId and endpoint added to the BaRS Endpoint Catalogue.  This enables the BaRS Proxy to direct messages to the service.

+This is an abbreviated deployment guide, focused exclusively on the technical steps, to connect and configure healthcare Service Providers utilising BaRS. It is aimed at Suppliers and Service Providers (Project Managers, Business Analysts, Application Delivery Specialists, etc.) connecting their solutions to the BaRS Proxy infrastructure and related components.
+
+* Supplier installs BaRS compliant solution to Sender system environment 
+* {{pagelink:connect-as-a-sender, text:Connect Sender}} to BaRS Proxy
+* Supplier install BaRS compliant solution to Receiver system environment 
+* {{pagelink:Connect-as-a-receiver, text:Connect Receiver}} to BaRS Proxy
+* Identify or create Service profile(s) for the Receiving service(s) on the chosen national or proprietary Directory of Service* 
+* Provide detail of configured services and systems to BaRS Team to {{pagelink:configure-endpoint-catalogue, text:configure in the Endpoint Catalogue}}
+* Test configuration between newly configured systems
+
+\* If a Sender is to receive an asynchronous response from the Receiver, as part of the defined workflow, they will also require a Service profile. This will need configuration in the {{pagelink:configure-endpoint-catalogue, text:Endpoint Catalogue}} too.
+
+NB- These steps apply to connecting and configuring systems to both the Integration (INT) and Production (PROD) environment.
