The FDP Advisory Group is an independent stakeholder advisory group which provides strategic advice for NHS England's Federated Data Platform on communications, engagement and transparency, considering patient, public, professional and ethical context, complimented by the Patient and Public Communications Advisory Panel which provides a patient voice on communications and engagement materials. The Advisory Group is an integral forum to provide expert advice, raise concerns and flag emerging issues, ensuring stakeholders remain confident in the roll out and use cases of FDP software as it securely handles sensitive patient data.
