GS1 UK
Transportation, Logistics, Supply Chain and Storage
We set standards for retail, healthcare, SME and Marketplaces, using those unique numbers you see in barcodes.
About us
GS1 UK is a community of over 58,000 members working in retail, foodservice, healthcare and more. We are one of 118 independent, not-for-profit GS1 organisations operating across 150 countries worldwide. Think of our standards as the DNA of the supply chain. They enable a complete, real-time inventory picture covering all product, transactional and location data. In fact, by using our unique numbers to identify, capture and share information on any product, asset or location, our barcodes and innovative supporting technologies can make your life a whole lot simpler too. We help everyone involved in making, moving and trading goods to automate and standardise their supply chain processes using the common language of GS1 global standards. And we bring the same efficiencies to the healthcare supply chain – right through to improved patient safety. Learn more about what we do at https://www.gs1uk.org

Patient misidentification remains a significant issue in healthcare that can result in safety risks and even harm to patients. In 2023/24 alone, NHS Resolution reported spending over £2.8bn to resolve clinical claims, a portion of which could be linked to errors in patient identification. Accurate and unique identification - using data standards - plays a key role in reducing the likelihood of misidentification errors. In this context, GS1 standards offer a reliable solution for improving patient safety. Read our interview with Jonathan Daly, Key Account Manager at Dakota Integrated Solutions , to learn more about how data standards can help prevent misidentification and improve care delivery: https://hubs.la/Q02_3_RX0 #NHSnumber #patientsafety #healthcare #patientidentification #GS1standards #GSRN #rightfirsttime
