The experience held by Safehand and their clear expertise in clinical safety and health tech has been fundamental in reaching DCB0129 compliance.  Safehand’s impact has been much wider than just compliance, it has woven clinical safety into all aspects of our product design, development, delivery and support. Safehand’s ability to rapidly understand the product, and how it is utilised in the real world is refreshing. The expertise brought by the team at Safehand has brought benefits not only to our organisation but every customer who uses an Inform Health product.

When we first contacted Safehand in 2020, we knew that we needed a partner for our DCB0129 and Medical Device efforts in order to be successful. Safehand has proven to be a 10/10 partner to work with. They have been able to leverage much of the compliance workload that is difficult for a small company such as us to manage. This has enabled us to learn and progress a lot faster than otherwise would have been possible. Thanks Adrian and Eric.

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.

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.

There is so much to unpack around clinical safety and DCB0129/DCB0160 compliance. Before working with Safehand this was a painfully complex space which organisationally we knew little about. We found it challenging to understand the processes and ways to implement across our organisation. Fast forward and with their help we are making inroads and for all the right reasons.

Safehand have made the experience genuinely positive, interesting and engaging - those are words that I never thought I would use to describe our approach to 'clinical safety'. Marvellously talented people and very kind at heart. A pleasure to work with. There is a reason they have such a good reputation. If you are stuck with clinical safety, give them a call today.

"Starting with a blank sheet of paper is so hard when it comes to compliance with DCB0129/0160. Safehand have a wealth of experience and expertise to support Ashtons Hospital Pharmacy Services undertake the risk assessment of our electronic prescribing and administration system, Ashtons e-Works, efficiently and thoroughly."

“There is no doubt in my mind that Safehand’s guidance helped us complete the work faster, and be even more thorough in our approach.”

"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."

"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."

Working with Safehand has been both rewarding and informative, their continued support in ensuring Medilogik EMS continues to comply with its DCB0129 requirements. Their level of detail in understanding our platform and the fast-paced requirement of improving clinical reporting is invaluable to keeping our product current, this is testament to them supplying a CSO who understands the service requirements.
