Guy's Hospital in London pilots drone blood sample transport, aiming to reduce delivery time and improve patient outcomes.

Guy's Hospital in London is launching a six-month pilot project to transport blood samples via drones, aiming to cut delivery time from over 30 minutes to under two minutes. Set to begin this autumn, the initiative, regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority and in collaboration with Apian and Wing, seeks to improve patient outcomes and reduce environmental impact. If successful, it could lead to broader drone use in healthcare logistics across the UK.
