Question : how so I get the uniqueidentifier after insert in SQLEXPRESS?

I need to create a batch number for entering a set of records.  I have a batch table that stores the unique batch number and other information about the batch.  When the user clicks "New" to create a new batch, I use the Insert command to add the record.  But then I need the uniqueidentifier that was created for the batch number.  What is the SQL syntax for this?

Thanks in advance!

DECLARE @GUID uniqueidentifier
SET @GUID = NEWID()
INSERT Item VALUES (@GUID,'Yak Hoof')

and return the value of @GUID as output parameter
