Working towards safer, more efficient healthcare
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.
