Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust is set to trial drone delivery of blood samples between hospitals in London, aiming to significantly reduce transport time. This innovative pilot program will cut the delivery time from over 30 minutes by road to less than two minutes, enhancing efficiency in urgent medical situations. The six-month trial, regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority, will focus on transporting samples from patients at high risk of complications during surgery. This initiative not only promises faster delivery but also offers potential environmental benefits by reducing reliance on traditional road transport. Previous studies have shown that drone deliveries can maintain the quality of medical samples, paving the way for broader applications in healthcare logistics. As this trial unfolds, will it set a precedent for the future of medical deliveries in urban environments?

A piece I contributed to the Micro-X newsletter is below. Such an awesome project!

Criticized for using checklists - here is why they are important! So here's the deal with checklists, they're made so we don't make mistakes. There's a fantastic book that I recommend everybody read it's called the checklist Manifesto. The reason Pilots use checklists is because it reduces the amount of airplane crashes. The reason surgeons use checklists is because it reduces the amount of deaths in the operating room. So checklists are actually more and more vital the more advanced and the more complex the procedure is. nobody's expected to necessarily memorize them but they are expected to follow them verbatim to reduce problems. https://lnkd.in/e2vuZH8g
