In a ground-breaking first for Scotland, laboratory specimens have been flown from one NHS board to another - by drone.

This step forward by the Project CAELUS initiative, led by AGS Airports in partnership with NHS Scotland, took place during a three-week flight trial between NHS Lothian and NHS Borders.

Live flying took place between the Edinburgh BioQuarter next to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and Borders General Hospital in Melrose.

Invited guests were involved a special event on 21st August showcasing the live flight trial with presentations around the work conducted by Project CAELUS.
