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.

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.

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.
