As AI becomes more integrated into general practice, the CQC’s Mythbuster 109 is a timely reminder that technology alone doesn’t make care safer — governance does.
A designated Clinical Safety Officer (CSO) is now a core expectation for any practice deploying digital or AI solutions. From hazard logs to safety cases, the CSO role is central to ensuring tools are used safely, appropriately, and in line with DCB0160.
For many practices, accessing this expertise internally is challenging.
That’s why our Annual Digital Clinical Safety Retainer Service exists — providing ongoing CSO support, structured risk management, and the assurance regulators expect.
Digital transformation should empower clinicians, not burden them. We’re here to make that possible!
