<p>The NHS Federated Data Platform will deliver measurable improvements for patients.
It will allow people to be discharged quicker, and for waiting lists to be shortened,
through making better use of data.</p><p>It will securely bring together information
already available to trusts, in hospital health records, waiting lists, and theatre
and staff rosters, to better manage patient care. Each NHS organisation will be the
data controller for their instance of the platform. Data will always remain under
the full control and protection of the NHS and is only visible to approved users.</p><p>The
NHS Federated Data Platform will provide trusts and integrated care boards, on behalf
of local integrated care systems, with a set of core capabilities and nationally developed
products, to support five key National Health Service priorities: elective recovery;
care-co-ordination; vaccination and immunisation; population health management; and
supply chain management.</p><p>A suite of products will sit under each of the use
cases. A product is a software solution to address a particular NHS need, for example
a patient discharge product which brings together data to help support discharge teams
in hospitals in getting patients the right care in the right place. As each product
is developed or transitioned to the NHS Federated Data Platform, a privacy notice
will be published, setting out the data that will be utilised within the product.

NHS Federated Data Platform is being implemented in phases, with the first phase,
from March to July 2024, being a transition of existing National Data Platform products
to the national instance of the NHS Federated Data Platform, and the transition of
44 pilot sites to local instances. The second phase, from May 2024 to March 2027 and
following the successful transition phase, is the rollout of instances of the platform
to new trusts and integrated care boards. Once trusts and boards have their local
instance of the platform, they can choose to use any of the nationally commissioned
products, and develop new or additional products locally, to address local issues.
This is when the data will become visible to approved users.</p>
