A fractional Clinical Safety Officer for your health tech team
Every health IT manufacturer supplying the NHS needs a Clinical Safety Officer. Most early and growing teams do not need one full-time. A fractional CSO gives you senior clinical safety expertise for the time you actually need.
What a Clinical Safety Officer does
A CSO is a suitably qualified and experienced registered clinician who takes responsibility for the clinical safety of a health IT system under DCB0129 or DCB0160. They lead hazard identification, own the Hazard Log, sign off the Clinical Safety Case Report, and review changes and incidents so that safety keeps pace with the product.
When a fractional CSO makes sense
You are preparing for your first NHS contract, pilot or DTAC assessment
Your product is changing quickly and your safety documentation has fallen behind
Your previous CSO has left and you need continuity
You are adding AI features and need to understand the new clinical hazards
What you get
A named CSO who knows your product
DCB0129 documentation set up and kept current
Release and change reviews that fit your sprint cycle
Support with NHS buyer, DTAC and DCB0160 questions
Incident review and escalation advice
