New strategic collaboration aims to upskill staff on the NHS Federated Data Platform
LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Multiverse, the AI upskilling platform, and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR), a leading provider of AI-enabled software, are partnering to upskill staff on the use of the NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP) across the NHS. Together, the organisations will launch new, FDP-specific apprenticeship programmes, equipping staff with the critical AI and data skills needed to improve patient care and operational efficiency.
The NHS FDP, which is supplied by Palantir, connects vital data which is currently stored in separate systems, enabling staff to access the information they need in one safe and secure environment, and use it to improve how they work and deliver care for patients. It is currently delivering benefits such as more operations and quicker discharge in 77 NHS Trusts, with a further 73 signed up to the programme, along with 41 Integrated Care Boards.
This strategic partnership will leverage Multiverse’s proven capabilities in digital skills training to help NHS staff unlock the full potential of the NHS FDP to increase operations, improve care, drive up efficiency and drive down waiting lists. It marks a commitment to putting staff training at the heart of FDP implementation and broader healthcare data initiatives for patient benefit.
“To truly unlock the power of the NHS Federated Data Platform, the NHS needs a workforce that is confident and skilled in using data and AI,” said Euan Blair, Founder & CEO at Multiverse. “This partnership isn’t just about implementing new technology, it’s about investing in the people who will use it every day to make a tangible difference to patient care. We’re proud to be a part of this crucial step in the NHS’s digital evolution, deepening our existing relationship with the NHS.”
“The NHS FDP is already improving care for patients while cutting paperwork for doctors and nurses,” said Louis Mosley, Executive Vice President, UK and Europe at Palantir. “It has delivered 80,000 additional operations and reduced discharge delays by 15 per cent, while the Government is forecasting that it is on track to deliver £150 million of benefits each year by the end of the decade.
“Now we need to double down to keep driving up the number of NHS staff who are trained on the technology – and this partnership will be central to that.”
Multiverse and Palantir will collaborate to create a suite of new apprenticeship programmes featuring training on the FDP, with the first cohorts launching in February 2026. The curriculum will be tailored to the unique needs of a diverse range of NHS roles, including analysts, administrators, managers and clinical staff. With a focus on practical, applied learning, the programmes will help NHS organisations implement the FDP directly into their work.
By further investing in the skills of its workforce, the NHS will reap the benefits of its technological investments, leading to improved operational workflows, more efficient resource allocation, and a tangible impact on patient health. This partnership represents a significant step towards unlocking the full potential of AI and data to support the NHS and its mission to deliver world-class care.
