New consortium created to revolutionise medical deliveries, aiming to reduce waiting times for medicine and other medical supplies
Focus is on COVID supplies, pathology samples & blood transfusions delivered via a connected national network
Consortium led by Skyfarer alongside Altitude Angel, O2, Cranfield University, and Phoenix Wings
New delivery system will develop smarter, faster, safer and potentially greener supply chains
Skyfarer, a drone logistics operator, is leading a consortium including Altitude Angel, to enhance the pathology network in the UK by potentially speeding up patient response and sample turnaround times and make drone delivery of blood for lifesaving transfusions a reality. The programme, which will also focus on COVID supplies, will create a new drone network infrastructure, providing a quicker and likely greener form of medical transport across England.
