GS1 UK has published a new Healthcare Report based on the findings from this research and the latest survey of nurses. It highlights their opinions about improving ward efficiency and patient safety as well as the role of technology in the NHS. The report reveals that there is a very close link between the views of doctors and their colleagues in the nursing profession. There is a lot of scope for tackling inefficiency and improving patient care in the NHS by using technologies based on GS1 standards.
