Statement from consortium members

“Let’s take the 2022 published NHS and Department of Health and care strategies, the current programmes of FDP, Frontline Digitisation and Secure Data Environment, then let’s look at what would be helpful, today, in an ICS to provide real time patient data for Direct Care, Integrated Care Planning, Patient Flow , Population Health, ICS planning, Workforce and Research, this tells us an interesting story.
So while we are grateful that the FDP process brought a number of us suppliers together to look at five elements of the FDP, what it actually did was help us understand what we already bring to the market, how we might do that better as a collaborative and what can we build on top of what we already have that would help ICSs and the country at a strategic and local level. Meanwhile continuing to invest in the UK, jobs, R&D and knowledge sharing.
Since the publication of our bid in the FT, we have had some very interesting and helpful approaches by large, small, UK and international suppliers that has really opened our minds to thinking how the current consortia may enhance its offering and come to market with something that is broader than the current FDP remit, and that’s where we are. We are looking deeply at potential partners, our offering and will look to announce our plans in the summer.
There is a difference in this approach in that there will be public sharing of all APIs, information models and ontologies, with adherence to NHS standards where they exist and proposed approaches where they do not. The effect of this will be a creative commons that will accelerate progress towards the objectives that we all share.”
