Beyond Palantir: What’s next for the Federated Data Platform?
Parliamentary discourse is growing around the potential for the break clause in the Federated Data Platform (FDP) contract with Palantir to be triggered in February 2027 .
With NHS leaders from around the country gathered in one place, at the ConFed Expo in June, we put on a space for discussion around the implications of this significant decision and the importance of patient and public trust in health data systems. We were joined by a panel of data and health equity experts to speak and there will be the possibility for questions and discussion.
Speakers:
Matt Hennessey – Greater Manchester ICB Chief Data and Analytics Officer
Emma Runswick – British Medical Association Deputy Chair of Council
Marc Farr – Chair, NHS Chief Analytical Officer’s Network Advisory Board Member, APHA National Data Advisory Group

'The Suspect' Author Talk with Rizwaan Sabir & Tarek Younis – July 2022
What impact has two decades’ worth of policing and counterterrorism had on the state of mind of Muslims in Britain? The Suspect draws on the author’s experiences to take the reader on a journey through British counterterrorism practices and the policing of Muslims.
Join Rizwaan Sabir and Tarek Younis for discussion on the traumatising effects of Sabir’s surveillance, arrest and detention for suspected terrorism.
Writing publicly for the first time about the impacts of these experiences, Sabir argues that these harmful outcomes are not the result of errors in government planning, but the consequences of using a counterinsurgency warfare approach to fight terrorism and police Muslims.
To resist the injustice of these policies and practices, we need to centre our lived experiences and build networks of solidarity and support.
