We know that innovation happens across the NHS in England every day – the problem is that there is no way to consistently scale and share this local innovation. 

Through the launch of the NHS Federated Data Platform – Solution Exchange, NHS England is providing this consistency and creating opportunities for data-led innovation in healthcare to improve efficiency and patient care across England. 

*Please note that this is an early release of the Solution Exchange and functionality will be enhanced over the coming months.

Solution exchange – developer environment

For developers, the solution exchange provides a safe and secure space to create and test new ideas to strict NHS FDP standards, using notional data. New innovations will be reviewed and tested for suitability before being made available in the NHS FDP Solution Exchange Product Catalogue.

How to get in touch

If you are an NHS trust or integrated care board with an instance of the NHS FDP, you can access the solution exchange from your NHS FDP homepage. 

If you don’t have an instance of the NHS FDP and would like access: 

• If you are an NHS trust, please register your interest using the Solution exchange catalogue
• If you are an NHS developer, you can apply for access to a development workspace using the Solution exchange developer portal

Currently, the Solution Exchange does not support third party products. Organisations can register their interest to be kept informed on how to submit a request for their products to be made available on the NHS FDP solution exchange when this functionality is made available.
