"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."

Yachna Tak
CEO, Ashtons Hospital Pharmacy Services

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.

When we contacted Safehand early in 2023, we needed help with the complexities of DCB0129. Safehand has proven to be an excellent partner to work with. Small companies like us find it difficult to find the resources to manage compliance and Safehand have accomplished this for us and ensured that our processes are up to the mark. Many thanks Adrian and Lucy.

Working with Safehand on our DCB0129 compliance was straightforward. The process was well established and robust. Our allocated CSO was an expert with real-world experience in our field and was able to quickly understand the product and its applications. We are very happy with the flexibility in supporting ongoing compliance.

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

"Safehand have been invaluable helping us meet the clinical safety documentation requirements for our expansion in the UK market. From beginning to the end, they explained every aspect of the process and took steps to ensure that we were fully aware of why we were producing each deliverable. Following a well-designed, well delivered plan, it was as much an educational experience as a consulting engagement. We are delighted with our interaction with Safehand and a special thank you to our CSO for a tremendous job."

Glen Conway

Safehand have supported MaST to develop a portfolio of documents and processes, to ensure we are compliant with DCB 0160. MaST uses data and analytics to support mental health clinicians to make decisions and so having sound advice and clarity on product regulatory position is of utmost importance.
