Palantir to launch training drive for NHS data platform
"In a statement, the companies said their agreement would help NHS staff use the FDP to support operations, improve care, drive up efficiency, and drive down waiting lists. They said the apprenticeship program would launch in February 2026 with a curriculum tailored to NHS roles including analysts, administrators, managers, and clinical staff. Louis Mosley, Palantir executive vice president for UK and Europe, stated:"
""The NHS FDP is already improving care for patients while cutting paperwork for doctors and nurses. 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." However, critics have pointed to the circumstances under which Palantir - founded with cash from the CIA-backed investment fund In-Q-Tel - was awarded the £330 million contract to run the FDP."
Palantir is partnering with AI upskilling platform Multiverse to provide an apprenticeship program specific to the Federated Data Platform (FDP) used by the NHS. The program will launch in February 2026 and offer a curriculum tailored to NHS roles including analysts, administrators, managers, and clinical staff. The initiative aims to help NHS staff use the FDP to support operations, improve care, increase efficiency, and reduce waiting lists. Critics highlight controversy over Palantir's founding funding from CIA-backed In-Q-Tel, meetings between UK officials and Peter Thiel before Covid contracts, no-competition Covid contracts, and limited trust uptake of the FDP.
