The second and final stop on our Dragon's Heart roadshow was at Wrexham Ambulance Station.

Once again, Skyports Drone Services, SLiNK-TECH, Volant Autonomy and the Welsh Blood Service were on hand to give information and answer questions on the Welsh-led, Innovate UK-funded project developing a medical drone network for Wales. We'd like to thank everyone who took the time to attend!

Snowdonia Aerospace Centre is proud to be leading the project which aims to move critical medical supplies efficiently over rural terrain, while generating evidence to shape future UK drone regulation as part of the UK’s Future Flight Programme

How are drones going to transform how we transport blood? 🩸

For many years, the Welsh Blood Service has relied upon traditional transportation methods, such as Blood Bikes, to transport blood and samples across the country when people are most at need? But could there be a quicker way?

Our Dragon’s Heart project is exploring how drones can be used to transport blood between locations 🏥🚁🩸 To celebrate the latest milestone in the project we are taking to the road to demonstrate the project’s potential impact on the health sector ✅

We are inviting you to join us at Llantrisant and Wrexham next week to learn more. You can hear from the services set to benefit and the companies behind the technologies, as well as take a look at the drones themselves! You will also get a chance to ask the experts any questions you have about the initiative.
