FDP+ Enablement & Assurance

Seamless Integration,
Intelligent
Automation, Clinical-Grade Assurance

Unlocking the Full Potential of Data & AI for NHS Trusts

As NHS Trusts transition to the Federated Data Platform (FDP), success depends not only on integration, but on building a clinically safe, semantically rich, and operationally sustainable data foundation. VE3’s FDP+ Enablement & Assurance offering supports Trusts at every stage of maturity—from foundational readiness to advanced analytics, automation, and ongoing assurance.

Our approach combines deep Foundry-native engineering, national-grade assurance, and a co-development delivery model to ensure long-term value, capability transfer, and clinical confidence.

Key Challenges NHS Trusts Face

Integration & Interoperability

  • Multiple EPRs and operational systems create fragmented data estates
  • Alignment with FHIR, HL7, NHS Spine, and FDP standards is complex

Security, Privacy & Compliance

  • GDPR, DSPT, DTAC, and research governance requirements demand precision
  • Privacy risks increase as data sharing and AI adoption scale

Operational Sustainability

  • FDP environments must remain performant, cost-efficient, and trusted
  • Trusts require ongoing assurance, not one-off implementation support

Operations, Assurance & Continuous Run

FDP+ extends beyond go-live into long-term operational assurance

Real-Time Monitoring & Proactive Alerting

Continuous monitoring of system health, data pipelines, and resource utilisation ensures issues are identified early, with automated alerts enabling rapid investigation before operational or clinical impact occurs.

Incident Management & SLA Governance

A structured incident management framework categorises and prioritises issues based on severity, with clear Service Level Agreements defining response times, escalation paths, and accountability.

Continuous Compliance &
Assurance

Ongoing audits and controls ensure sustained alignment with GDPR, DSPT, DTAC, and cybersecurity standards, supporting regulatory confidence as platforms, data, and policies evolve.

Controlled Change, CI/CD & Optimisation

CI/CD pipelines enable controlled updates, security patching, and feature enhancements without disruption, while continuous optimisation ensures long-term performance, resilience, and scalability.

Use Cases & Outcomes
