Data Sharing
We provide two ways you can share data with us, the Data Sharing Platform and the National Reports Library. Each platform is used for different types of data.
Data Sharing Platform (DSP)
The DSP replaces the CiviCRM as the main solution for Healthwatch to share their data with Healthwatch England. This platform allows you to upload data in bulk using CSV UTF-8 files.
