<p>The Federated Data Platform is a vital upgrade for the National Health Service,
allowing it to be much more effective in how it handles its data, to improve outcomes
for patients. It will allow information about staff, waiting times, equipment and
medicines to be brought together, to allow better planning of how the NHS uses its
resources.</p><p> </p><p>41 trusts have agreed to join the Federated Data Platform,
by means of transitioning from their participation in one of the pilot programmes.
In parallel, the programme is actively engaging with 29 new trusts, regarding joining
the Federated Data Platform in 2024. We are working with regions and local organisations
to plan their implementation timeline.</p>
