GS1 New Zealand

From a pack of gum to global supply chains, standards connect the world 🌍 Happy #WorldStandardsDay! 🎉 Today we celebrate the power of partnership through global standards.   It all began 50 years ago at a Marsh Grocery store in Ohio, when a pack of Wrigley’s gum became the first product scanned with a UPC barcode, powered by GS1 standards that still connect businesses and consumers worldwide today. 🛒 From manufacturers to hospitals, from retailers to regulators, GS1 open standards help organisations collaborate, share trusted data, and innovate. By working together using standards, we turn a shared vision for a better world into reality. 🤝 #worldstandardsday #throwback #technology #data #evolution #gs1

🌍 From the UK to Aotearoa, healthcare systems share similar challenges: delivering safer, smarter and more sustainable care with limited resources. 🩹 In this episode of GS1 Healthcare's Global Impact by Leading Healthcare Locally series, Dr. Nnenna Osuji, Clinician, Consultant Haematologist and CEO of North Middlesex University Hospital, shows how GS1 standards are transforming the NHS: ✅ Preventing surgical delays caused by expired stock ✅ Streamlining inventory and recalls ✅ Building clinician trust in digital change ✅ Supporting financial resilience and reducing waste Dr Osuji's message resonates strongly with New Zealand’s health system pressures. As we navigate change in our own system, the success of GS1 enabled solutions like Scan4Safety in UK shows what is possible: Empowering frontline staff, lifting morale and creating proactive, patient centered care. This video is part of the 20th anniversary of GS1 Healthcare, celebrating two decades of global standards driving local leadership. 📽️ Watch Dr. Osuji’s story below. 🔗 Full link in comments. #standards #tech #healthtech #gs1 #Uk #NewZealand
