NHSsets up chemotherapeutic drug drone delivery to reduce critical drug latency from 4 hours to just 30 minutes It has been.
The NHS announced this plan on July 5th when it celebrated its 74th birthday, and medical service authorities will someday use thedrone. He said he hopes doctors will be able to offer "same day delivery" orders. For medicines and medical devices from anywhere in the UK.
Sajid Javidsaid he hopes the country will become a "world leader incancer treatment".
The Minister of Health continues: "By using the latest technology to perform drone chemotherapy, patients can be treated more quickly and equitably wherever they live.
" NHS is 74 years old. These innovations will improve patient access to life-saving care while at the same time maximizing the record-breaking funding NHS is investing to eliminate Covid's backlog.
A pilot scheme has been launched to accurately assess how drones can help with medical services. The first trial will see a drone home-delivery chemotherapeutic drug from the Portsmouth University NHS Trust pharmacy to St. Mary's Hospital on the Isle of Wight.
The NHS states that in addition to reducing delivery times, this technology can be used to simplify complex transportation routes for delivery. One flight can replace two car trips and one hovercraft or ferry trip.
Chemotherapeutic agents are particularly difficult to transport due to the short shelf life of some doses, medical service officials say.
And Amanda Pritchard, CEO of theNHS England, called the drone trial "another extraordinary development for cancer patients."
She also said that medical services "stop doing nothing to help people get the treatment they need as quickly as possible, while reducing costs and carbon emissions." He also said that he showed that.
Pritchard said: And care.
In addition to saving time and money, the new shipping method launched in partnership with the technology company Apian provides better options for cancer patients living on the Isle of Wight. Mainland for treatment, officials added.
The drone program will be tried first on the island and then on Northumbria.
Darren Cattel, Chief Executive Officer of the Isle of Wight NHS Trust, said: We are pleased to continue that tradition by leveraging the latest technology to overcome the challenges we face and provide the best service to our patients.
"We are still in a relatively early stage, but the use of drones to transport medicines has a fundamental and positive impact on both the NHS and patients across the UK and on the Isle of Wight. It's a concept to give .. It's great to be able to participate in this innovative project. "
