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.

Our Safehand Clinical Safety Officer, Hadi, provided professional and enthusiastic support to add DCB0129 compliance to Optellum’s lung cancer AI medical device. We were very pleased with the quality of the documents Hadi produced, and the speed and efficiency with which they were delivered. We look forward to Safehand’s ongoing support for getting our product to the UK market.

"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

As an emerging digital agency venturing into healthcare software products, we found ourselves trying to navigate the complexities of the world of Clinical Safety and DCB0129 compliance. Safehand has proved to be an invaluable partner in this journey. Their meticulous approach and commitment to understanding our product ensures our compliance is robust and fit for purpose. Our nominated CSO, Lisa, guides us every step of the way, instilling the utmost confidence in us. We highly recommend Safehand for their professionalism, dedication, and expertise.

Safehand has guided us through the assessment processes for DCB0129 standard. When we first spoke to Adrian, he promised a personal service, working with us through every step of this complex process. That is exactly what they delivered. Shelley‘s clinical background allowed her to understand our software and our work with hospices across the UK where clinical safety is paramount. Shelley, and everyone we have spoken to at Safehand, have been professional and friendly throughout, making the whole process much more manageable. We are looking forward to a long and ongoing relationship with them.

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.
