Over the past few months, the collaboration between Telefónica Tech, Oxford University Hospital (OUH) and Starlight Consulting has proven to be an exceptional example of what can be achieved through dedicated teamwork and shared vision.
Since April 2024, our teams have been working closely to design, develop and deploy a state-of-the-art Secure Data Environment (SDE) for the Thames Valley and Surrey region. This partnership has been instrumental in supporting NHS England's initiative to enhance the security, accessibility and utility of healthcare data across the region. Together, we have successfully navigated the complex landscape of healthcare data, aligning our efforts to deliver a robust solution that meets the stringent requirements of the NHS.
In a remarkably short time, we have managed to prepare an appropriate solution and data architecture that form the backbone of this SDE. Our joint efforts have focused on ensuring that the system can handle data ingestion from a number of source systems and ingestion patterns, initially centred around cancer data requirements. The integration of various components, including the NHS England Opt-out, into this environment is a significant milestone, demonstrating our ability to address complex challenges with innovative solutions.
As we continue through the remainder of the project, the integration of the Trusted Research Environment (TRE), developed by OUH using Microsoft Azure TRE principles, with the SDE, represents another significant step forward. Over the coming weeks we will, together, ensure the core foundations and data within the SDE are readily integrated and accessible, providing researchers with a secure and controlled environment to conduct their vital work. This integration is a testament to the strength of our collaboration and our shared commitment to advancing healthcare using well governed and well architected technology.
Reflecting on our journey thus far, it is clear that the synergy, teamwork and incredibly close collaboration, between Telefónica Tech, OUH and Starlight Consulting has been pivotal to the success, so far, of this project. Our teams have demonstrated exceptional agility, expertise and dedication, enabling us to achieve remarkable progress in a short timeframe. As we continue to work together, we remain committed to delivering cutting-edge solutions that will have a lasting and positive impact on healthcare in the Thames Valley and Surrey region, ultimately benefiting patients and healthcare providers alike.
