Why HCSA 2026 matters

Traceability that starts at the point of care

The HCSA Annual Conference is the Health Care Supply Association's flagship event, bringing NHS procurement, supply chain, logistics and clinical procurement professionals together with the suppliers and partners they work with. This year's theme, Setting the Agenda, focuses on making sure the priorities of the NHS procurement and supply chain community are heard and acted on at every level.

Genesis works alongside NHS trusts across the UK on traceability, inventory and point-of-use data, and is exhibiting at HCSA to meet the teams turning the clinical supply chain from a back-office cost into a driver of patient safety. On Stand 22, we'll be showing and discussing:

  • The new Genesis portfolio: five connected solutions, Genesis Data, Sourcing, Inventory, Clinical and Savings, with Genesis Intelligence across all five.
  • How a single GS1 scan at the point of use captures the product, lot, expiry, patient and procedure, so Scan4Safety data supports recall readiness, charge capture and stock control from one record.
  • How Genesis Inventory gives trusts real-time visibility of consumables, implants, tissue and consigned stock across operating rooms, cath labs and wards, with replenishment driven by actual use.
  • How Genesis Intelligence turns the same data into cost-per-case and variation insight that procurement and clinical teams can review together, with people making the final call.
