Lorna Wilkinson, Director of Nursing at Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust, discusses the trust's journey implementing Scan4Safety. The trust was selected as one of six demonstrator sites for the program. Scan4Safety aims to improve operational efficiency by reducing time spent locating supplies, improve stock management, and automatically replenish stock. It also aims to enhance patient safety by enabling safe product recalls and positive patient identification, reducing medication errors. Scan4Safety is expected to allow clinical staff to spend more time focusing on patient care by streamlining supply processes. The trust is taking a bottom-up collaborative approach to identify how barcoding can add the most value while building internal capability for a sustainable implementation.
