Open Safely: NHS to expand GP data sharing platform for major conditions research​

The NHS has found another way, another platform and another excuse to analyse our data. This time the OpenSafely platform, originally used by researchers during Covid–19, is now to be expanded. NHS England will plan to expand new treatments for major conditions such as asthma, cancer and diabetes.

In collaboration with Oxford University, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, the Nuffield Group and TPP, this means data from GPs will be used by scientists who wish to gather evidence on effective prescribing and patient outcomes.

The NHS Federated Platform will bring together all NHS data which is currently stored in separate systems. The operator of NHS Federated Platform is none other than the notorious ‘Palantir’, who it appears has been awarded the £480 million contract. UK Column News have reported of our serious concerns over this award and have highlighted serious concerns that GPs and other doctors have over the new Federated Platform. The British Medical Association (BMA) are also airing serious concerns, stating they have no faith in the Federated Data Platform.

Do any of us know where our data is going or to which country even?
