Who is GS1 UK?
About GS1 UK
GS1 UK is one of 118 neutral and independent GS1 organisations operating worldwide.
Whether online, in store or in a hospital, the common language of GS1 global standards is helping our community of more than 60,000 organisations across the UK to uniquely identify, describe and track anything, creating greater trust in data for everyone.
From product barcodes to patient wristbands, GS1 standards have been transforming the way we work and live for 50 years.
Our work in healthcare
We work with industry to promote and amplify the use of our standards throughout the supply chain and patient pathway. We promote harnessing the power of standards to enhance patient safety and traceability.
We do this through the unique identification of every person, every product, and every place using GS1 standards. This improves end-to-end traceability from manufacturer to patient.
