We help healthtech companies become clinically safe, compliant, and credible for NHS deployment.
If you are building digital health software for the NHS, you will need more than a hazard log and a few template documents. You need a clinical safety process that reflects how your product really works, how clinicians will use it, and where patient risk can emerge in the real world.
Our support is led by NHS doctors who have taken their own software through clinical safety, NHS integration, live deployment, and ongoing use in the NHS.
A defensible safety case connects intended use, workflow, clinical hazards, mitigations, residual risk and post go-live monitoring.
Clinical Safety Officers was created after we built our own NHS software product and realised how difficult it was to find practical, clinically credible support.
"We were not looking for generic governance paperwork. We needed to understand how to make software genuinely safe. That meant working through clinical risk management, hazard identification, safety case reports, product design, deployment, and real-world operational safety." - Dr C Raj
"Over time, we developed the expertise that many digital health companies need but struggle to access: clinical safety support from people who understand both medicine and software delivery. Now we help other healthtech teams navigate the same process." - Dr R Chowdhury
Our work is led by clinicians who understand patient care, clinical workflows and the realities of NHS practice.
We have taken our own NHS-facing software through clinical safety, integration and live general practice use.
We help you identify real risks, document them properly and define sensible mitigations.
Clinical safety sits between medicine, software, operations and governance. We sit in the middle.
We help you build a clinical safety case that is clear, defensible, and useful for your team and key stakeholders.
Whether you are pre-deployment, already live, or preparing for a major NHS opportunity, we can help you make your clinical safety position clearer and stronger.
Support for healthtech companies moving from prototype, pilot or early product into NHS use.
Practical clinical safety documentation, hazard logs, safety cases and review support.
Help responding to NHS procurement, clinical governance and assurance questions.
Structured review when your product is deployed but your clinical safety position needs strengthening.
Support with integrations, pilots, procurement, change management and ongoing safety review.
Named Clinical Safety Officer support and help aligning supplier-side and deployment responsibilities.
Our approach is practical and product-specific. We work with how your software actually functions, not just with generic templates.
We help you create and maintain the core clinical safety documentation required for health IT systems.
Retainer-based CSO support for teams that need clinical safety input throughout the year without hiring a full-time CSO.
A structured review for products that are already built, already live, or about to be deployed.
Clinical safety is only one part of being credible to NHS buyers. We review your product from a clinical, operational and governance perspective.
We can help suppliers and NHS organisations understand how DCB0129 and DCB0160 interact, what evidence is needed, and how clinical safety responsibilities should be managed.
NHS organisations deploying health IT systems have responsibilities under DCB0160. This becomes especially important when a supplier-side clinical safety case moves into a real deployment environment.
We help clarify the evidence, responsibilities, assumptions and deployment-specific considerations that need to be addressed between manufacturer and deploying organisation.
We work through the product, the clinical context and the deployment environment so your safety documentation reflects real use.
Discuss your DCB0129 requirementsWe start by understanding your product, users, clinical context, intended use, deployment model and current safety position.
We identify clinical hazards, foreseeable misuse, workflow risks, user risks, deployment risks and product-specific safety considerations.
We help create or update your clinical safety documentation, including the hazard log, Clinical Risk Management Plan and Clinical Safety Case Report.
We work through residual risks, mitigations, evidence and sign-off so that your safety case is clear and defensible.
For retained clients, we continue supporting product changes, new features, deployment questions and periodic safety reviews.
Whether you need a full DCB0129 safety case, a named CSO retainer, a clinical risk review, or support preparing for NHS deployment, we can help.
Tell us about your product and what stage you are at. We will help you understand what clinical safety support you need.
