Royal Mail innovations
The Royal Mail have created a new postage barcode for the NHS to use when posting out “appointment letters”. This unique barcode will enable the Royal Mail to prioritise these letters irrespective of disruptions to service, to avoid delays in patients receiving these time sensitive/critical communications.
The Royal Mail are rolling out upgrades to existing post boxes. There will be a slot for letters and another larger one for parcels. The “parcel slot “will open when the sender scans the label barcode and provide a proof of posting (which will be powered by solar panels and will be rolled out across the entire nationwide network of post boxes). Initially there will be a pilot scheme of five locations. The last major post box innovation happened in the 1870’s when the green post boxes were painted red to improve their visibility.
