GLNs in regulation

Managing this information effectively is important for trusts as they begin to submit electronic orders via PEPPOL. They want to know that their orders will be delivered to the right place, at the right time, every time.
By centrally managing these GLNs, each of the trusts you work with can rest assured that deliveries are in-stock and accessible whenever and wherever they are needed, ultimately preventing critical delays to patient care.
For you, this reduces the likelihood of missing deliveries and ensures that the trust has accurate information for billing.
NHS trusts in England have committed to the implementation of GLNs and the adoption of LocationManager, in order to drive adoption across the NHS and its suppliers. This has commenced with the Southern NHS trusts with an issued Statement of Intent.
More supplier specific information on GS1 standards and the eProcurement strategy is available here.
All NHS acute trusts you work with, are able to access LocationManager as part of the GS1 UK and NHS Digital five-year partnership agreement.
If you’re not already a member of GS1, you’ll need to join before you can subscribe to LocationManager.
Once you are a GS1 member, you can subscribe to LocationManager. Like GS1 UK membership, the annual subscription fee is based on turnover.
