Statement on the national NHS England Federated Data Platform (FDP)
In South East London we recognise the importance of how the NHS uses data and what it means to patients and the public.
We also understand and support the principles of clarity and reassurance about security, confidentiality, transparency, and ethics.
We are aware of the national NHS England Federated Data Platform (FDP) programme that has been commissioned with the company, Palantir. The ambition for the Federated Data Platform has been developed and is being led at a national level by NHS England, with the intention of supporting improved operational insight, patient flow and service planning across the NHS:
Any further questions or expressions of interest relating to the national programme should be directed to the relevant NHS England team via their published channels:
Media enquiries
The communications team provides a point of contact for journalists to respond to all media enquiries.
We are happy to help journalists represent the trust accurately, so please do get in touch to ensure your facts and information are up-to-date before publishing your story.
Our media team is responsible for:
- Responding to media queries
- Arranging interviews with our nationally and internationally renowned experts who can talk about some of the trust’s specialist topics
For all media enquiries Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, please email oxl-tr.communications@nhs.net where a member of the team will review and action your request.
If you have an urgent enquiry outside of office hours or at the weekend, please contact our director on call via the Bracton Centre switchboard on 01322 294300.
Filming and photography requests
We receive documentary, location and broadcast filming requests on a regular basis – we consider all proposals on an individual basis and will try to accommodate proposals where possible, if appropriate.
No photography or filming is permitted without prior arrangement and agreement. Our patients always come first and we have a duty to protect their safety and confidentiality. Anyone found filming or taking photographs on the trust premises without the permission of the trust’s communications team will be asked to leave by the security department and may face prosecution.
Unless agreed otherwise, film crews and photographers must be accompanied by a member of the Communications Team at all times.
