Multiverse parents with Palantir to launch new NHS data apprenticeship programs

Multiverse, an AI training platform, has partnered with AI software provider Palantir to launch a new apprenticeship designed to give NHS staff AI and data skills.

The two organizations will create apprenticeship programs focused on the use of the NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP).

The NHS FDP is supplied by Palantir and connects data stored in separate systems. The new partnership will see Multiverse train NHS staff to use the tool to its full potential, increasing efficiency and decreasing wait lists.

“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,” explains Euan Blair, Founder and 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,” adds 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.”
