Case Study

NHS FDP Solution for a secure, scalable, and data-enabled NHS.

Objective

To deliver a privacy-first, interoperable Federated Data Platform that enables the NHS to securely unlock actionable insights, improve decision-making, and scale data-driven healthcare outcomes.

Challenges

Very little time for solutioning

Built an approach for transition and transformation in 6 weeks with tooling and structure.​

‍

Process improvement recommendations were not considered

Shift left approach recommended but not adopted by the 3rd party team delivering FDP​

‍

Unclear Requirements

Minimal functional and non-functional Business Requirements​

‍

High existing defect load

Mindset of 3rd parties delivering a "SaaS" approach had to be changed due to number of defects​

‍

Extended support to manage timelines

Needed to deliver Solution Assurance over multiple weekends to reduce business user impact​
