Case Study

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.

Safehand managed to walk us through the DCB 0129 assessment process in a highly professional manner. Hadi and Adrian were extremely capable and took the time to really understand our business processes and application in the broader healthcare market. This is a daunting project to undertake without professional guidance and I will recommend Safehand to those invested in clinical safety and risk mitigation to lead them through this process.

Dr. Conrad Fivaz

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.

When we contacted Safehand early in 2023, we needed help with the complexities of DCB0129. Safehand has proven to be an excellent partner to work with. Small companies like us find it difficult to find the resources to manage compliance and Safehand have accomplished this for us and ensured that our processes are up to the mark. Many thanks Adrian and Lucy.

Clive Morris
Managing Director, TCR (Nottingham) Ltd

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.

Joanne Ross
Business Manager, EPAQ Systems Ltd.

Alex Honour played a pivotal role in the successful delivery of our digital clinical safety case for the implementation of a Trust-wide, first-of-type Patient Administration System (PAS). This was an incredibly complex and high-stakes programme, involving not only a significant data migration effort, but also a major shift in working practices for thousands of staff across clinical and operational teams.

Throughout the project, Alex was thorough, approachable, and highly professional—bringing clarity and confidence to a challenging piece of work. What stood out most was Alex’s unwavering commitment to patient safety, which was evident in every question asked, every challenge raised, and every task undertaken.

Alex worked closely with our own Clinical Safety Team and has imparted knowledge and skills for them to carry forward into future projects.

The result was a comprehensive safety case that not only met immediate programme needs but also laid strong foundations for ongoing assurance as the system is further embedded and optimised.

Hayley Grafton
Chief Nursing Information Officer, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust

Clinical safety has always been central to our Theseus health and wellbeing platform’s development and it’s essential for our company to be compliant with DCB0129. Engaging with Safehand was a straightforward decision based on the company’s track record in clinical safety. We have been very impressed with our Clinical Safety Officer’s experience, knowledge and approachability in helping us develop and maintain our Clinical Safety Management System.
