How GS1 standards are supporting the future of healthcare
Early results from the Scan4Safety demonstrator sites have shown that the programme has the potential to save lives and up to £1 billion for the NHS over 7 years.
If you are an NHS Trust or Foundation Trust striving to improve care delivery, or a solution provider looking for new opportunities, don’t miss the chance to hear from senior representatives from GS1 UK about the direct impact Scan4Safety is now having in hospitals across the country.

This will be followed by a panel discussion, titled How are the Scan4Safety demonstrator sites influencing wide-scale Trust adoption of GS1 and PEPPOL?
