A named CSO
for NHS digital health.
Dr Chiho Song is a practising NHS clinician and contracted Clinical Safety Officer in England. He supports digital health, SaMD and health IT teams with the clinical risk management evidence needed for NHS go-live.
The CSO is not just a signature.
A Clinical Safety Officer is the clinician accountable for clinical risk management decisions in a health IT system. For NHS suppliers, the CSO makes sure the safety case is not just a procurement document but a defensible clinical argument.
Dr Chiho Song combines NHS clinical work, DCB clinical safety practice and healthcare AI implementation. That matters when the product involves AI, triage, prioritisation, automation, clinical documentation or workflow change. For model-driven products, see AI clinical safety and SaMD DCB 0129 support.
