From the outside, it looks like a maze.
From the inside, there are clear paths.

 

Independent NHS data consultancy.
I help NHS leaders and health tech companies get clarity on the Federated Data Platform, and I help industry audiences understand where NHS data is heading.

Services

FDP Clarity for NHS Trusts

Your Trust or ICB is adopting the Federated Data Platform and your Board needs confidence that it is the right decision. Or you have already adopted it and your data team needs a clear path to getting value from it. I led the team that built FDP at NHS England. I help Trust boards make informed decisions about adoption and I help data teams operationalise it properly.

 

 

Start with a free 20 minute team briefing

You sell into the NHS and the Federated Data Platform is changing the landscape. You need to understand what the Solutions Exchange means for your product, how to align with the Canonical Data Model, and how to position yourself in a market full of noise. I help health tech companies see the path through and make confident decisions about where to invest their engineering effort.

 

Start with an FDP Clarity Session.

Industry Briefings and Commissioned Writing

You run events, invest in health tech, or represent a membership body, and your audience needs to understand where FDP is heading and what it means for them. I deliver closed-room briefings for senior groups and write long-form commissioned pieces on NHS data strategy. My writing has appeared in Computer Weekly and HSJ, and I have been quoted in the BBC, Guardian, Daily Mail, and The Telegraph.

About

I spent 22 years inside the NHS, the last few leading a team of 150 engineers building the national Federated Data Platform at NHS England. I have sat in the rooms where decisions get made about which technology gets adopted, which vendors get through the door, and which data programmes get funded or killed.

Now I help NHS organisations get clarity on the Federated Data Platform, and I help health technology companies navigate a system that looks impenetrable from the outside.


I am the only independent consultant in this space who has operated at both trust level and national level. I built data platforms from scratch at individual Trusts. I then ran the national data engineering operation. That means I understand how data flows from a clinician seeing a patient all the way through to national reporting, and I know where it breaks down.
