The Federated Data Platform (FDP) programme is supported by a number of specialist information governance (IG) groups:

Federated Data Platform Programme Data Governance Group (DGG)

The Data Governance Group (DGG) is being established by NHS England to provide FDP Programme oversight to the approach to data processing and sharing across all Instances of the Data Platform and NHS-PET.

The aim of the group is to facilitate consistency of information governance (IG) documentation by approving Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for Data Platform products prior to these being launched within FDP.

See the terms of reference for the group for more information.

The Federated Data Platform Programme (FDP) External Information Governance Advisory Group

The FDP External Information Governance Advisory Group exists to provide scrutiny and advice to support the implementation of IG to the Federated Data Platform Programme.

The advisory group serves as a valuable feedback loop, providing ongoing input and insights as the platform evolves over time. This iterative process will allow for continuous improvement and adaptation to changing healthcare needs., and address barriers to adoption.
