NHS England is revolutionizing healthcare research by enabling secure, seamless access to de-identified patient data through the Federated Data Platform (FDP). Despite vast data resources spread across regional and national systems, analysts struggle with fragmented, inconsistent datasets. Enter Databricks: powering a unified, virtual data lake with Unity Catalog at its core — integrating diverse NHS systems while ensuring compliance and security. By bridging AWS and Azure environments with a private exchange and leveraging the Iceberg connector to interface with Palantir, analysts gain scalable, reliable and governed access to vital healthcare data. This talk explores how this innovative architecture is driving actionable insights, accelerating research and ultimately improving patient outcomes.
