Our Healthcare Advisory Board

Driving adoption and realising the benefits of GS1 standards across healthcare

The Healthcare Advisory Board is made up of key decision makers and influencers within the NHS. It helps drive the adoption – and realisation of the benefits – of GS1 standards across healthcare.

Chaired by Professor Duncan Eaton, the board’s aim is to improve patient safety, reduce regulatory non-compliance and realise valuable cost savings from procurement efficiencies across the NHS – through the adoption and implementation of GS1 barcoding standards.
