Fantastic to be featured on the BBC and The Times today highlighting how automated, on-demand delivery drones are now transporting urgent blood samples for Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust , using drones for good to improve staff productivity and patient experience. As the BBC said, "Drones certainly won't solve all the problems in the NHS but it could help create a higher level of performance”, and we’re so excited to be making this a reality. This partnership is the hard work, commitment and perseverance of partners at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust , Wing , the Civil Aviation Authority , NATS and many more for making this a reality. https://lnkd.in/evwSZbf8

Liftoff - one short flight for a drone, one giant leap for healthcare logistics! This week we’re marking the first deliveries of urgent blood samples to inform patient care at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust . Thanks to Katie Prescott for the write up in today's Times and for visiting our rooftop at Guy’s yesterday. 🩵 Our drones are now racing across the London skyline to deliver samples from Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust in under two minutes - a journey that takes on average more than half an hour by road - by delivering faster blood testing turnaround times for vulnerable and at-risk patients who are awaiting treatment or surgery. 💉More efficient and automated NHS logistics can speed up clinician and HCP productivity, meaning the NHS can deliver the right care to patients sooner, with fewer emissions. This is win-win for the NHS, for patients and the environment. 💫This innovative logistics solution is a fantastic example of how the NHS can shift from analogue to digital to be fit for the future, and we have ambitions to turn this trial into the blueprint for the NHS's healthcare drone distribution network. 📢This partnership is the hard work, commitment and perseverance of partners at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust , Wing , the Civil Aviation Authority , NATS and many more for making this a reality. #NHS #healthcare #innovation #healthtech #logistics #supplychain #London #productivity https://lnkd.in/eiv5FzB5 https://lnkd.in/deQffUCv

I recently visited our operations in central London where Wing are flying up to 10 on-demand blood sample transfers per day from Monday through Friday in partnership with Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and Apian . It’s a spectacular setting made even better by the operations in progress. Its exciting to be a small part of improving patient outcomes, by making BVLOS drone operations in a complex urban environment possible. I’m proud of our teams and grateful for the support from the UK Civil Aviation Authority and NATS in making this important operation a reality.

🩸 We’re supporting ground-breaking trials like the drone deliveries of NHS blood samples in London as part of our mission to enable aerospace. Our Director of Future Flight, Sophie O'Sullivan said: "Innovative trials like this from Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust , Apian and Wing help demonstrate the many positive and safe ways that drones can be used to benefit society - in this case, to improve patient outcomes and deliver significant environmental benefits. This is one of the many reasons that we are working with companies through trials programmes, to enable the test and development of pioneering new aviation technology in the UK."

A big thank you to everyone who attended the CAA panel session at DroneX yesterday—it was an absolute honor to be part of an all-female panel! 🌟 Special thanks to our fantastic moderator, Amanda Smith and to my fellow panelists, Sophie-Louise O'Sullivan , Anne-Lise Scaillierez , and Vicki Murdie , for delivering such insightful and open discussions. It was wonderful catching up with so many familiar faces throughout the day, and feeling the excitement from the industry in support of Apian ’s groundbreaking London trial with Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and Wing ! Exciting times ahead for the future of drone technology in the NHS! #DroneX #CAA #WomenInAviation #Innovation #Drones #HealthcareInnovation #NHS

We will be trialling the use of electric drones in a medical delivery service which aims to improve patient care by speeding up turnaround times. Moving samples between Guy’s Hospital and the lab at St Thomas’ Hospital can take more than half an hour by road but takes less than two minutes by drone. This enables quicker analysis, helping to efficiently determine whether patients are safe to undergo surgery or be discharged. The trial will deliver blood samples for patients undergoing surgery who are at high risk of complications from bleeding disorders. Blood samples are currently delivered by van and motorbike couriers. Switching to drone deliveries will have significant environmental benefits by removing carbon emissions and reducing traffic congestion. Lightweight commercial drones can reduce CO2e emissions by up to 99% compared to non-electric cars and reduce transportation electricity needed compared to electric delivery vans. This six-month operation is regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority, which has granted the airspace approval. It has been organised as a partnership between Guy’s and St Thomas’; Apian a healthcare logistics company founded by NHS doctors; and Wing a global drone delivery company that is part of Google’s parent company, Alphabet. This is a landmark first for the NHS in London. Apian and Wing have previously partnered on medical drone delivery in Dublin, Ireland, and Apian has trialled medical drone deliveries in rural areas of the UK. The pilot is expected to start in autumn 2024. Professor Ian Abbs, Chief Executive at Guy's and St Thomas', said: “The drone pilot combines two of our key priorities - providing the best possible patient care and improving sustainability. We are proud to be the first Trust in London to trial this innovative approach to help speed up blood sample analysis for our most urgent cases.” Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/d_U5gBcN #TeamGSTT #Drone #Sustainability

🩸 We’re supporting ground-breaking trials like the drone deliveries of NHS blood samples in London, as part of our mission to enable aerospace. We greenlit the airspace aspects of the trial and are looking forward to seeing flying start later this year, once further work has been completed. Our Director of Future Flight, Sophie O'Sullivan said: "Innovative trials like this from Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust , Apian and Wing help demonstrate the many positive and safe ways that drones can be used for society - in this case, to improve patient outcomes and deliver significant environmental benefits. "This is one of the many reasons that we are working with companies through our sandbox trials programme, to enable the test and development of pioneering new aviation technology in the UK."

Today we’re announcing a first-of-its-kind partnership with Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and Wing to transport urgent blood samples across London by electric drone this Autumn. ✅Not only will this improve patient care by speeding up turnaround times, switching to drone deliveries has significant environmental benefits, reducing emissions by up to 99%. 🥼Last week we heard about the secretary of state Rt. Hon. Wes Streeting MP 's three big shifts to transform the NHS. We believe partnerships like the one we’re announcing today are at the forefront of this change, blending the best of NHS innovation (our Founders Hammad Jeilani and Christopher Law are NHS doctors) with tech investment of Wing and the forward-thinking of trusts like Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust . A thank you to the ongoing support of Civil Aviation Authority and NATS too. 📢Electric drones will revolutionise NHS healthcare logistics through on-demand, automated and sustainable deliveries, helping the NHS create more efficient models of working and our doctors and nurses to deliver the highest quality care for patients. 🩵Keep your eyes open for more Apian news - over coming weeks we will be working closely with stakeholders and local communities as we work towards getting the trial up and running. https://lnkd.in/ed49wR5t
