The NHS is using drones to deliver blood samples between London hospitals, says The Times. It takes just 2 minutes to fly the 1.4 miles between the rooftops of Guy’s Hospital and St Thomas’, rather than the 30 minutes it can take to drive through the capital’s congestion. The time is crucial as the samples are from patients at risk of bleeding out who are set to undergo surgery at Guy’s, and the specialist analysis equipment at St Thomas’ helps surgeons decide whether to go ahead.
