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.

Joanne Ross
Business Manager, EPAQ Systems Ltd.

"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

"Safehand was recommended to us by one of our advisors. As a healthtech startup we were looking for sensible strategic advice regarding the complex and evolving world of medical device regulation. Safehand were able to provide this and also made us aware of the requirement for DCB 0129. They are easy to work, quick to respond and thanks to their honest and straight talking advice we now comply with the necessary regulation"

Peter Grinbergs
CMO & Co-Founder, EQL

I'd like to thank Safehand for supporting PocDoc in creating our clinical risk management deliverables for our DTAC assessment and GP Connect onboarding. The Safehand onboarding process was simple and thorough, which meant we could quickly move from briefing to implementation. Safehand has made the process of becoming DCB 0129 compliant straightforward. I would like to make a special mention of Lucy Birks, our appointed Clinical Safety Officer. Lucy has guided us expertly and rapidly throughout the process and offered considerable insight. Her experience and dedication to our aims, has helped the senior management team at PocDoc to build our understanding and commitment to clinical risk management.

Robin Matthews
Chief Technology Officer, PocDoc

"Safehand Consulting have become a very important part of our company.  Their level of expertise, sensible advice and approachability make them a great company to work with. In addition their help in setting up in-house processes has been invaluable. We would recommend them to anyone looking for Clinical Safety guidance and advice."

Steve Treadwell
Director, Silicone Practice

As a small tech company, DCB0129 compliance was a daunting prospect for ShinyMind but Safehand have been extremely professional, informative, and helpful throughout the process. Their patience, flexibility and responsiveness have been particularly valued as our products have evolved and deadlines changed. Having Safehand as part of our team gives us real confidence as ShinyMind moves forward.

Jon Howard
Director, ShinyMind

“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

“We were and continue to be delighted with our interactions with Safehand. From the first email, through to the production of our hazard log, clinical safety workshop and final report we experienced the highest level of professionalism, matched with not only extensive knowledge of the clinical safety issues but real enthusiasm to make our product better. This enthusiasm has led our team to become even more focussed on clinical safety and led to a real organisational change in designing, improving and releasing our code updates. We are looking forward to working with Safehand as we develop and enhance our offering.”

Anne Lamb
Director of Operations, FDS Dental Referrals

"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."
