Hire an independent CSO
for DCB 0129 evidence.
Dr Chiho Song provides independent and external Clinical Safety Officer support for NHS digital health suppliers that need DCB 0129 clinical safety evidence, named CSO review, hazard logs, Clinical Safety Case Reports and post-go-live safety governance.
If you are looking for an independent CSO.
This usually means one of three things: your team has no trained registered clinician to own DCB 0129, an NHS buyer has asked for a named CSO before procurement can move, or a reviewer wants external clinical safety challenge before go-live.
I can provide independent supplier-side CSO support where the scope is clinically appropriate. The engagement still needs evidence, product access and authority. An independent CSO is not a signature bought at the end of a project.
Independent challenge with accountable sign-off.
The role can be scoped as a pre-go-live safety case package, an external named CSO retainer, or an independent review of a specific change, incident or evidence pack.

Intended-use review, hazard workshop, hazard log, Clinical Risk Management File, Clinical Safety Case Report and signed CSO release memo for a defined supplier product release.

DTAC evidence → AI clinical safety review →External does not mean detached.
Useful when the blocker is clinical safety ownership.
Supplier-side NHS digital health products.
SaMD, clinical workflow tools, triage, remote monitoring, AI, documentation, automation or health IT products being sold into the NHS where DCB 0129 evidence, hazard analysis and a named clinician are blocking procurement or go-live.
AI/SaMD clinical safety →Regulatory work outside CSO scope.
This does not replace UKCA / MDR classification, ISO 13485, legal advice, cyber assurance, data protection, clinical trial sponsorship, or full-time employment. If the product is not clinically defensible, I will say so.
Send product context before booking.
If you are deciding whether to hire an independent Clinical Safety Officer, send the product context first. I will tell you whether the fixed package, an external named CSO retainer, an independent review, or a different route makes sense.
