Background

• The NHS generates millions of records of data every day

• Traditional technologies are starting to struggle to cope with the volumes of data and the processing demands, not to mention the cost of maintaining a huge server infrastructure

The NHS need a new way of processing large data sets quickly and at low cost

• We acquired a HES extract of 12 years of patient activity across England and permission to load it into Google BigQuery

• We have been combining HES with other sources to ‘pan for gold’contained in the data
