In the first national drone network of its kind, safety trials have successfully completed at Glasgow Airport<\/strong> for the transportation of essential medicines, bloods and other medical supplies throughout Scotland. Project CAELUS<\/strong>, led by Ferrovial\u2019s AGS Airports<\/strong> in partnership with NHS Scotland<\/strong>, has successfully completed live flight trials in a bid to deliver the UK\u2019s first national medical distribution network using drones which will reach even the most remote communities.<\/p>\n

CAELUS (Care & Equity \u2013 Healthcare Logistics UAS Scotland), is part funded by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Future Flight Challenge. It brings together 16 partners including the University of Strathclyde, NATS and NHS Scotland. Together they are working to deliver<\/strong> what will be the first national drone network<\/strong> that can transport essential medicines, bloods and other medical supplies throughout Scotland including to remote communities.<\/p>\n

Since January 2020, the CAELUS consortium has designed drone landing stations<\/strong> for NHS sites across Scotland and developed a virtual model (digital twin) of the proposed delivery network which connects hospitals, pathology laboratories, distribution centres and GP surgeries across Scotland.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fiona Smith, AGS Airports Group Head of Aerodrome Strategy and CAELUS Project Director, said:<\/strong> \u201cThese flight trials are an important step towards the integration of drones into modern airspace and enabling the safe use of drones at scale within Scotland\u2019s airspace. The CAELUS project is set to revolutionise the way in which healthcare services are delivered in Scotland. A drones network can ensure critical medical supplies can be delivered more efficiently, it can reduce waiting times for test results and, more importantly, it can provide equity of care between urban and remote rural communities.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
