Has drone medicine delivery been worthwhile? #pharmacy #dronedelivery #pharmacyinnovation

How does drone delivery for medicines work? #pharmacy #dronedelivery #medication

Much has been learned in the process of developing a drone-delivery scheme. Routine deliveries of medications have been made every 90 days to project patients for 18 months and the team is now collaborating with others to share learnings https://medicalupdateonline.com/2025/02/what-are-the-next-steps-for-drone-delivery-of-medicines/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic

In a pilot project, deliveries of medicines were made to individuals in single-family homes; the medicines were packaged in purpose-designed boxes and the recipients had to agree to be at home to receive them, says Cindy Williams https://medicalupdateonline.com/2025/02/how-does-a-drone-delivery-service-for-medicines-work-in-practice/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic

The drone delivery service had to operate within a number of ‘guard-rails’ including restrictions on the types of medicines that could be carried and the suitability of destinations, explains Cindy Williams https://medicalupdateonline.com/2025/02/challenging-logistics-of-a-drone-delivery-service-for-medicines/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic

Several elements supported the developments in pharmacy services in Northern Ireland and one of the results was a £200 million saving over an eight-year period, according to Professor Cathy Harrison https://medicalupdateonline.com/2025/01/how-new-pharmacy-services-saved-20-million-per-year-in-northern-ireland/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic

Clinical pharmacy services in Northern Ireland are well-developed and delivered by a skilled and growing workforce, about 30% of which are now independent prescribers, according to Professor Cathy Harrison https://medicalupdateonline.com/2025/01/how-innovative-clinical-pharmacy-services-were-funded-and-implemented-in-northern-ireland/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic

As the keynote speaker at the 2024 ESCP symposium in Krakow, Poland, Professor Cathy Harrison described how innovative clinical pharmacy services have been developed that both improve patient care and save money https://medicalupdateonline.com/2025/01/developments-in-healthcare-the-background-for-new-pharmacy-services-in-northern-ireland/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic
