GS1 standards for medicines
GS1 standards enable full visibility of pharmaceuticals, from point-of-production to point-of-sale, point-of-dispense or point-of-care. Implementation of GS1 standards can ensure maximum interoperability between traceability systems across the healthcare supply chain and across borders.
An understanding of GS1 standards will be crucial in complying with the Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD), which is currently being implemented across Europe, and also meeting the requirements of Trusts across England who are embarking on GS1 adoption programmes.
As a pharmaceutical manufacturer, this interactive course will help you with the foundations to get your barcodes right for global markets.
This course is aimed at pharmaceutical manufacturers, particularly if you're trading with the NHS or in the EU. Implementation of regulations will require input from a cross-functional team, so this course is recommended for staff from the following departments:
