KPMG with NHSE

Technology Transformation

MCA Awards Finalist 2025

It’s not often technology consultants can say they’ve helped to meaningfully improve patient outcomes at scale. But that’s exactly what KPMG’s work supporting the NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP) has led to – enabling better, faster care for more than 1 million patients across England to date.


Connected data is crucial to joined-up, collaborative healthcare – and therefore to patient outcomes. The NHS has implemented a national Federated Data Platform, to bring together all 134 Acute Trusts’ patient and operational data, so that staff can access crucial insights to make better decisions for patients.

The NHS asked KPMG to help and we supported with:

  • Driving buy-in of the FDP
  • Enabling Trusts and Systems to adopt the platform to improve patient care
  • Work with front-line clinicians to develop new digital products
  • Embed sustainable digital and data capability in the NHS

We brought together a highly flexible, multidisciplinary team, with over a century of combined NHS experience, resulting in:

  1. 70,000 more patient surgeries
  2. 210,000 patients removed from waitlists for treatment they don’t need
  3. 14% more patients are being discharged home early
  4. Patients now spend 19% less days in hospital due to unnecessary delays
  5. Doubling the up-take of the platform to a 100 Trusts and built 11 new front-line led products

These benefits are truly transformational and what’s more, is entirely technology led and driven by people improving processes on the ground. Put simply: we’ve helped NHSE harness the power of connected data – which is transforming public healthcare delivery in England.
