"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."

CEO, Doc Abode

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.

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.

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

We approached Safehand to provide the Clinical Safety guidance required to achieve DCB0129 compliance. We found Richard to be very approachable and professional, guiding us through the process in a clear and structured way. His expertise was instrumental in helping us navigate the complexities of the DCB0129 framework with confidence. Safehand acted as a trusted partner, and we are very grateful for their assistance in enabling us to achieve this critical milestone.

Julie Somerville
Client Partner Safety, Hexagon

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.

Rony Lindell
