“I think that like many others, we were doing most of the right things to comply with DCB0129 already, but Safehand were able to assist us greatly in developing, accelerating and implementing our compliance strategy and by providing guidance to us to create a Product Hazard Log and associated Safety Case. The Digital Health Safety Standards and Medical Device Regulations are very specialist areas, so the access provided by Safehand to an experienced Safety Clinical Officer to work alongside us throughout the lifespan of the product, is of great benefit to our organisation.”

Andy Crowther-Green
Sales Director, Terrafix Ltd

Clinical Safety is a vitally important part of our business, and I'm delighted to say that Eric and everyone at Safehand have been truly excellent to work with. Always on hand to offer advice, guidance and information while consistently working at a pace that matches our needs. Eric has been able to adapt to the changing requirements that we have presented with ease, whilst also staying on top of our evolving capability. I really cannot recommend them highly enough!

Sam Wood
Product Manager, Medical Management Systems (Meddbase)

Working with Safehand has been a pleasure from first contact with their Managing Director regarding developing a suite of documentation to ensure compliance with DCB0129 to our ongoing relationship with our Clinical Safety Officer contracted via Safehand. They not only have an excellent understanding of the legislative requirements, but have broad experience and knowledge of the healthcare sector which has helped us painlessly navigate our way through what is a complex process and requirement.

Business Manager, EPAQ Systems Ltd.

At Log my Care, ensuring compliance with NHS clinical safety standards was paramount and partnering with Safehand provided us with the expert guidance needed to navigate the complexities of DCB 0129. Their team's deep understanding and practical approach made the process seamless, allowing us to integrate safety into every facet of our platform. Thanks to Safehand, we achieved compliance swiftly and efficiently.

Adam Hurst
Co-Founder, CTO, Log My Care

"As a small company, it’s just not realistic for us to employ a fulltime DCB 0129 Clinical Safety Officer. Safehand are able to perfectly fill that gap. We get the enormous benefit of a CSO with wide industry experience to work alongside us as we grow. So many clinicians think they can just turn their hand to the complexities of DCB 0129 risk management having completed the mandatory training. The Safehand staff have been doing this work for over a decade and that experience shines through in everything they do. We’ve been working with Adrian for several years as our CSO – he is very friendly, extremely diligent and a true professional."

Taz Aldawoud
CEO, Doc Abode

Safehand has been a trusted advisor and partner in our DCB0129 compliance process, as well as in providing broader guidance on software as a medical device for Bliksund EWA, our digital record solution for emergency professionals. Their team has demonstrated deep expertise, offering clear and pragmatic advice that integrates seamlessly into our operational approach. Their reliability and ability to simplify complex regulatory requirements have made the entire process smooth and efficient. Safehand's knowledge, professionalism, and practical mindset make them a pleasure to work with, and we highly recommend them to any organisation navigating the landscape of medical regulations and software.

Martin A. Kasseth
Chief Product Officer (CPO), Bliksund

"We found our Safehand consultant to be extremely competent and knowledgeable and able to very quickly assimilate what our product was about.  We were pleasantly surprised how Safehand chose to make use of our own tools and ways of doing things. In building our Hazard Log and Safety Case, they didn’t try to re-invent the wheel or burden us with unnecessary paperwork."

Syd Stewart
Managing Director, 4S Dawn

I would like to take the time to commend Safehand in general, and particularly Oyinkan for an outstanding job in helping the HomeSight solution get to DCB 0129 compliance satisfactorily. Oyinkan was thorough, and exercised awesome due diligence during the entire process, and the remarkable thing is that through her logical thought process and presenting material, always with “why an evidence, or control, or a process is required”, helped us to refine our thinking to bring in a “Clinical Safety” mindset and angle to whatever we do. While we had to work harder to fill the gaps in our documentation, processes and test scripts, we were doing it with vigour knowing that all these contribute to a stronger solution that can stand proud in the market.

Oyinkan is an absolute asset, and a real pleasure to work with. She put us at ease, while politely being firm on the requirements as should be the case. We are happy to retain her as the CSO and we are very pleased with Safehand in terms of the engagement.

Our nominated CSO, Lisa, guides us every step of the way, instilling the utmost confidence in us. We highly recommend Safehand for their professionalism, dedication, and expertise.

Tom Montgomery

Working with Safehand on our DCB0129 compliance was straightforward. The process was well established and robust. Our allocated CSO was an expert with real-world experience in our field and was able to quickly understand the product and its applications. We are very happy with the flexibility in supporting ongoing compliance.
