What do our customers say about Safehand?

Safehand managed to walk us through the DCB 0129 assessment process in a highly professional manner. Hadi and Adrian were extremely capable and took the time to really understand our business processes and application in the broader healthcare market. This is a daunting project to undertake without professional guidance and I will recommend Safehand to those invested in clinical safety and risk mitigation to lead them through this process.

Dr. Conrad Fivaz
President, Priority Solutions Inc.

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.

Martin Fletcher
Customer Services Director, Medilogik Limited

Safehand have provided us with the expertise, guidance and support to develop a robust clinical safety strategy as a mental health organisation. We started at the very beginning of what would have been a very overwhelming clinical safety journey with Safehand. They have supported us with compliance training, policy development, Board awareness and more. They have been consistently professional, diligent and adaptable along the way. Whilst our internal governance and expertise in this domain has now strengthened, we continue to be grateful for the insights and expertise that Safehand continue to offer.

Dr Laura McGowan
Chief Clinical Information Officer, Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

Blythe was exceptional to work with. Her knowledge and expertise helped us navigate through a complex and unknown path with ease and reassurance. Blythe's pragmatic approach helped us at a stressful time and really helped alleviate any additional stress. We are delighted to continue working with Blythe.

Joy Pendleton
Digital Director, Ice Creates

As a leading provider of medical devices and digital health solutions, patient safety and clinical compliance are of utmost importance to Mindray. Partnering with Safehand to navigate the regulatory clinical safety environment has been invaluable in achieving accreditation and ensuring the care of our customers and users. Lucy has guided us expertly and rapidly throughout the process, offering considerable insight. Her experience and dedication to our goals have helped the team at Mindray build our understanding and commitment to clinical risk management. We look forward to our continued collaboration with Lucy and Safehand as we develop and enhance our solutions.

John Mendonca
Digital Health Solutions Manager, Mindray UK

"Deploying a national solution in the UK demands a trusted and experienced safety partner. We have been delighted with the work to date – rolling out a product at speed has been challenging across the board, but the way Safehand structures the knowledge transfer and information gathering was a big help. Our CSO has been really great - mammoth effort on her part to keep things moving, and she continues to do a fabulous job."

Chris Ryan
Video Consulting Programmes Director, Attend Anywhere

Although we had the existing artefacts and processes in place to be compliant with DCB0129, Safehand provided their specialist expertise to add structure to our clinical safety documentation and streamline the relevant processes. In addition, their continued support through providing an experienced Clinical Safety Officer ensures we maintain our adherence with the standards as we onboard additional customers and the product(s) evolve.

Ian Bennett
Product Specialist, Better Shared Care Planning Application

We contacted Safehand as we needed an experienced partner and specialist to guide us through our DCB0129 assessment for our patient and general practitioner apps with confidence. Safehand worked hand in hand with us to understand and assess our product and processes, providing all the necessary templates along the way. Having gone through the assessment, we’re now in a much better position and able to incorporate clinical safety into our requirements gathering process, and identify any areas for improvement, with Safehand supporting us along the way. Thank you for all your support and expertise Michelle and Adrian.

Maria Walschikow
Head of Operations, Substrakt Health

Look no further than Safehand for your DCB0129 needs. From the outset the experience and expertise of the Safehand team was clearly demonstrated. Eric Bulwer our Safehand Clinical Safety Officer consultant is very much part of Clinical Computing UK Ltd adding very valuable insights and perspective.

Tim Brennan
Managing Director, Clinical Computing

We contacted Safehand to consult on the DCB0129 process with us towards the end of 2024. Being a small team, the process was initially daunting but Paul and the Safehand team helped break the process down for us and provided expert guidance on what was required.

Euan Torano
Software Engineering Manager, BlueSky Wireless

Safehand have been superb in supporting us through the launch of a new medical device and ensuring ongoing compliance with DCB0129 as well as giving excellent advice on the broader aspects of medical device regulation. Thank you Adrian and Hadi.

Roger Tweedale
Director and Head of Governance, Teladoc Health

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.

Mike Birdsall
Senior Software Developer, Soft Options Limited

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.

Nav Kannan
SVP, Diversification Solutions, Vantiva

“I think that like many others, we were doing most of the right things to comply with DCB0129 already, but Safehand were able to assist us greatly in developing, accelerating and implementing our compliance strategy and by providing guidance to us to create a Product Hazard Log and associated Safety Case. The Digital Health Safety Standards and Medical Device Regulations are very specialist areas, so the access provided by Safehand to an experienced Safety Clinical Officer to work alongside us throughout the lifespan of the product, is of great benefit to our organisation.”

Andy Crowther-Green
Sales Director, Terrafix Ltd

Considering the size and scale of the project, and how much our CSO Lucy Birks had to pick up in a very short period, it was an enormous task done quickly and efficiently. The guidance directing future tasks to ensure compliance continues are also beneficial for us in continuing the clinical safety principles.

Maz Yildiz
Digital Project Manager, Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust

The Safehand team was professional, informative, and extremely helpful in every aspect of its work with MLCSU. The expertise of Safehand clinical safety officers was invaluable to us in setting up our digital safety compliance processes, from support in writing policy, to advice in dealing with complex issues, and their regulatory experience enabled us to avoid some of the pitfalls of DCB 0129 and 0160 compliance work.

Jill Taylor
Lead Clinical Safety Officer, NHS Midlands and Lancashire

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.

Polly Esplen
Managing Director, The Care Database

"Clinical safety and compliance forms the bedrock of a reliable product that can be trusted by healthcare providers. 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. Safehand have been supportive and responsive and have helped us navigate the clinical safety landscape."

Caroline Gadd

Safehand were incredibly helpful and professional throughout the whole process of ensuring we are compliant with DCB0129. We are really happy with the documentation they produced and have received excellent feedback from our clients as a result. Thank you Adrian and Hadi.

Safehand were able to provide this and also made us aware of the requirement for DCB 0129. They are easy to work, quick to respond and thanks to their honest and straight talking advice we now comply with the necessary regulation"

Peter Grinbergs
CMO & Co-Founder, EQL

I wholeheartedly recommend Safehand for their outstanding support during our recent experience with them working on the DCB0129 for one of our solutions. Their expertise was invaluable in navigating the complexities of DCB0129 compliance and ensuring we met all regulatory requirements. They provided exceptional guidance and went above and beyond to address our questions, offering insightful advice on the broader landscape of the different regulations. I would like to make a special mention of Lucy Birks, our appointed Clinical Safety Officer who has guided us expertly and rapidly throughout the process. A huge thank you to the entire team, especially Lucy, Adrian, and Amanda, for their dedication and partnership.

Ahmed Shaaban Miry
Chief Solutions Officer, Rosenfield Health Tech

EIDO Healthcare have a history of providing high quality patient information to support informed consent in NHS and private hospitals. When we expanded into the digital healthcare space, we thought that Clinical Safety was something we could do ourselves…how wrong we were! Luckily we asked Safehand for help and they appointed Natalie as our Clinical Safety Officer. She expertly guided us through the DCB0129 process with extensive regulatory knowledge, rationality and common sense. We have a retained services agreement with Safehand and enjoy having a CSO on our team.

Rob Hughes
Digital Director, EIDO Systems International Ltd.
Case Study

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.

Andy Martin
National ICS Lead, Change Grow Live

“Before we worked with Safehand we knew we weren’t compliant with DCB0129 and DCB0160 but we’d found it challenging to get the time to get all the necessary documentation together and embed it within our organisation. With their help we were able to accelerate our compliance strategy and straight-forwardly build all the necessary documentation to comply.
What I like about the Safehand approach is that they are keen to work with us rather than against us. We were concerned about the level of work that would be generated by the process, and that they’d tell us that we need to do everything differently but instead they moulded their approach to how we do things here, and offered pragmatic advice on how to deal with any non-compliant areas.”

Tracy Gardiner
Group Project Services Manager, Ideagen

As a leading supplier of critical Emergency and non-emergency Ambulance systems, our focus is always to deliver clinically safe and compliant systems and functionality to our customers.

Phil Smith

"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

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.

Thanks to Safehand, we achieved compliance swiftly and efficiently.

The Safehand onboarding process was simple and thorough, which meant we could quickly move from briefing to implementation.

Roko Malkoč, Better by Marand
Product Manager, Better Meds

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.

Hayley Grafton
Chief Nursing Information Officer, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust

In our line of work at Lenus Health, where we are at the forefront of medical device innovation, safety isn’t just a priority; it’s the foundation of everything we do. Initially, the detailed requirements of DCB0129 and DCB0160 standards seemed daunting. That’s where Safehand, and specifically Natalie, stepped in and transformed our trajectory towards compliance, ensuring our products meet the highest safety standards efficiently and effectively. This partnership has not only been beneficial but genuinely enjoyable, thanks to their professional yet warm approach. We’re grateful for the journey with Safehand so far and are excited for what lies ahead, knowing we have a reliable guide in them.

Eleanor Cappell
Contracting Performance Manager, Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust

Although experienced in many sectors and methodologies, and well versed in IT risk management; clinical safety, and navigation around DCB0129 compliance in particular, was a new venture for us. What was obvious was that this is no area for naïve stumbling around, or ignorant lip-service to the process. What is required is experienced professionals with established, industry-proven, yet flexible and adaptable processes. This is our experience of working with Safehand, and in particular Lucy, our Clinical Safety Officer. She has quickly become a valued and valuable member of the team, who continues to guide us through what without her could easily be overwhelming, time-consuming and therefore costly processes to meet the standards. Knowledgeable and efficient, Lucy has also been friendly and open to our thoughts and suggestions where appropriate. I would not hesitate in recommending Safehand to other companies in similar circumstances.

Fraser Macindoe
Director, STCS

Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust want to express our thanks to Shelley for her exceptional dedication and hard work in supporting us with the clinical risk assessment of our embedded EPR.

Thanks to her commitment, our EPR is now DCB0160 compliant. Her contributions have had a significant impact on the effectiveness of our system, and we are truly grateful for her support and for Safehand for making this possible.

Sascha Mullen

We found Safehand to be an excellent organisation to work with when completing our DCB0129. They demonstrated their experience and a breadth and depth of knowledge, which when coupled with their ability to communicate complicated issues clearly, made what could have been a difficult process very manageable. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to any other organisation looking for a competent CSO.

Julie Evason
MD, Health Diagnostics

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.

Harry Longman
Manging Director, Salve

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.

Our product improved and our knowledge expanded through this process and we look forward to working with Safehand over the years ahead.

For example having a starting point for creating a Hazard Log and Safety Case meant we could get started quickly. Our Safehand CSO has excellent industry knowledge which is invaluable when working with complicated situations, customers and deliverables. Safehand worked with us to improve our existing processes with minimum impact on day to day operations. We feel that we have the tools and support to maintain our accreditation, and to work on development knowing our process is right, and the product safe for users."

Corinna Dymond

"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."

Massive thank you to all the wonderful folks at Safehand for their help getting Tellmi DCB1029 compliant. Their expertise and advice was invaluable during the whole process. Clinical safety is a difficult and complex process but thanks to the cool heads at Safehand it isn't remotely daunting. We'd recommend them to anyone without hesitation!

Ben Allen
Project Owner, Tellmi

We approached more than one company for advice about our service and its DTAC obligations; Su and Natalie walked us through the DCB 0129 process and gave us advice that was in our company's best interest. They took the time to listen to us, work through our system, and present us with a detailed and professional report to address any future issues or individuals doubtful about BCS's DCB 0129 obligations. I recommend Safehand for DTAC and DCB 0129 advice and support.

It’s been hugely valuable working with Safehand on the DCB0160 clinical safety case for the OneLondon eMHA by Thalamos programme. East London NHS Foundation Trust was the first of the London Trusts to go live with this new system, and thank you to Alex Christie and Safehand for developing a detailed and thorough safety case in collaboration with key stakeholder which provided essential assurance that hazards were effectively identified and significant risks mitigated in preparation for our go-live.

“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.”
