NHS Federated Data Platform: One Year of Transformative ProgressA Year of Achievement and Growth
This spring marks a pivotal milestone as the NHS Federated Data Platform (NHS FDP) completes its first year of operation.
We have exceeded our implementation targets with 72 Hospital Trusts now realising benefits from use of the platform - surpassing our goal of 71 for this financial year. The commitment across the NHS is clear, with 108 Hospital Trusts and 41 Integrated Care Boards already signed up.
The impact on patient care has been immediate and meaningful, with the platform supporting 70,000 extra surgeries through increased theatre utilisation.
Expanding Our Vision
Having successfully established the programme’s foundation, our second year focuses on amplifying impact. We have created a dedicated workstream to partner with Community and Mental Health NHS Trusts, addressing their specific challenges through tailored data solutions.
The NHS FDPs expansion aims to:
• Foster truly integrated care pathways
• Reduce waiting times through optimised resource management
• Enable more care delivery outside acute settings
• Lower operational costs across the system
• Reduce administrative burdens on staff
• Improve continuity of care through enhanced data sharing
• Support earlier, more proactive interventions

Referral to Treatment tool live at Chelsea & Westminster
We’re thrilled to announce the Referral to Treatment (RTT) Clinical Letters Validation tool has officially launched for User Acceptance Testing in a live production setting at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital.
This innovative feature is designed to streamline RTT pathway management by automatically identifying letters mentioning “discharge” or “discharged” – potentially highlighting patients ready for removal – and those referencing “rapid access” clinics, which could signal pathway closures.
