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.

Business Analyst, Cyber Media Solutions 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)

"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

"Thank you so much for all your help. You've been fantastic and I am absolutely delighted with the process and report."

Fiona Steven
CEO, Know As You Go

When we first started looking at DCB0129 compliance I didn’t know whether to think “this looks really simple, what’s the problem” or ” this is so complicated I don’t know how we can manage it”. On our first contact with Safehand, it turns out I was right on both counts. It is really complex! And then we met Lucy, our CSO. Right from the start, she worked with us to break the complicated process of a Clinical Safety Review of our BEST system down into simple bite-sized chunks. Her expert eye was able to separate the important from the trivial and then put in place a process that allowed us to address the requirements of the Standard in a logical way that made it easy to understand what was needed. We now have a Hazard Log that identifies the Clinical Risks, demonstrates the controls we have in place to mitigate these, and an excellently-written Clinical Safety Case report. Not only has Lucy enabled us to meet DCB0129, but also given us insight into how we can work in the future to further improve our products.

Mike Birdsall
Senior Software Developer, Soft Options Limited

“Working with Safehand has been a breath of fresh air in what can be a complex and detailed area. We are a very fast moving health tech company with a release schedule we work hard to maintain. Safehand have consistently demonstrated that they understand our process and are willing to work with us. They challenge us where appropriate but understand us, our culture and our mission. We feel confident that Safehand isn’t just offering us a cookie cutter service but it is truly bespoke. Everyone on the Safehand team is a delight to work with and incredibly knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone."

Chris Eldridge
Director of Operations, Mayden

"Deploying a national solution in the UK demands a trusted and experienced safety partner. We have been delighted with the work to date – rolling out a product at speed has been challenging across the board, but the way Safehand structures the knowledge transfer and information gathering was a big help. Our CSO has been really great - mammoth effort on her part to keep things moving, and she continues to do a fabulous job."

Chris Ryan
Video Consulting Programmes Director, Attend Anywhere

"In a digital health business, we need to work with people who are domain experts who can simplify complex challenges and are great at listening to new ideas and alternative viewpoints. Whether its Medical Device compliance or DCB0129, Safehand just get the job done and deliver what they say they will."
