Clinical Safety Training Courses
Clinical Risk Management training with Safehand
Safehand provides NHS organisations with CPD-accredited training for Clinical Safety Officers and digital health project teams.
We teach you the detailed techniques of proactive clinical risk management and DCB 0129 / DCB 0160 compliance.
Safehand’s two-day onsite clinical safety training course will teach you how to ensure that patient safety is put first when you implement health IT. Our clinical risk management training focuses not just on what needs to be achieved but on the practicalities of how this can be achieved with the resources you have available. For example, we'll cover such topics as:
- How to communicate with suppliers who are reluctant to share their DCB 0129 materials or provide poor quality documents
- How to run risk management workshops to ensure they are productive and focused
- How to make a hazard log useful and a driver of success rather than just a piece of paperwork to tick a box
- Options for structuring a Clinical Risk Management Team to incorporate the CSO, Top Management and supporting personnel.
Courses are led by Dr Adrian Stavert-Dobson an experienced Clinical Safety Officer, trainer and author of the seminal book on clinical risk management.
Note: We have recently experienced huge demand for courses and we are delivering them alternate weeks. Please book with us as soon as possible to guarantee your place. Also, due to the demand, unfortunately we are not able to train individual practitioners. Instead we focus on teaching groups of 6+ attendees within a particular healthcare organisation to facilitate discussion and mutual learning.
Clinical Risk Management Course features
- Clinical safety training courses are run over two consecutive days on your site so you don’t need to travel.
- You can invite as many personnel from your organisation as you like. This helps to develop a culture of clinical safety rather than it be the domain of just your Clinical Safety Officer.
- NHS England can validate that it is not necessary to attend their own Accredited Clinician Course. Our course can be used as an alternative to that provided by NHS England or as a masterclass to build on existing knowledge.
- Our course is flexible so that the trainer can concentrate on areas which are particularly relevant to you. Whether that’s learning to talk to suppliers and customers about safety, implications of the Medical Device Regulation or gaining a better understanding of the role of the Clinical Safety Officer, we will give you the help that is relevant to you and your organisation.
- You are able to claim a total of 11 CPD points from attending the course.

Alex Millington
Business Change Analyst, North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust
We found the course to be excellent, highly informative, engaging, and well-organised. Adrian’s expert knowledge, practical experience, and engaging delivery, using real-life examples made the content relatable and easier to understand. The course was appreciated for being comprehensive, practical, and relevant to both clinical and non-clinical teams, effectively equipping us with the tools and confidence to manage clinical safety risks. Overall, we highly recommend the course and Adrian as the trainer.
Jo Inness
Head of Clinical Governance & Quality, East Berkshire Primary Care Out of Hours
Just completed the 2 day Clinical Safety Training course delivered by Adrian Stavert‑Dobson Safehand Consulting Limited and I honestly cannot recommend it highly enough.
It’s a complex area, full of detailed processes and frameworks, but Adrian made it incredibly accessible and engaging. He broke things down clearly and used real-world examples that brought the content to life and helped it all make sense – even for someone like me who isn’t from a clinical background.
Working in the DDaT space, especially in the kind of team I’m part of (clinical applications, training, implementation and support), this kind of knowledge is invaluable. It’s deepened my understanding of clinical safety, helped me better see the “why” behind what we do, and shown how we can support clinical colleagues and suppliers more effectively.

ICT Delivery & Development Lead, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
Clinical safety is a topic we've discussed at various levels within our team, even those of us who aren't CSOs like myself. I've attended two Safehand webinars before, which have been helpful but barely scratch the surface due to time restraints. I feel unquestionably more prepared now to engage in the entire clinical safety process effectively. You managed to make an elaborate specialism comprehensible, seemingly simple (or at least simpler) and interesting! I will recommend your course to anyone wanting to learn more about clinical safety.
Georgia Tighe
Digital Nurse, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust
Thank you for taking the time to come and teach us about clinical safety management. Your expertise and insights into this crucial aspect of our work have been immensely valuable. The knowledge and skills you shared will undoubtedly help us in our efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of our patients. Your engaging teaching style and real-world examples made the training both informative and enjoyable. Thank you once again for your dedication to educating healthcare professionals like us. Your commitment to patient safety is truly inspiring and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to learn from you. I look forward to applying what I've learned and continuing to enhance our clinical safety practices. Appreciated the practical tips and strategies you provided us during our training.
Larissa Fernandes
Digital Lead Nurse- Critical Care, Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust
The knowledge and expertise that Safehand have are really apparent in the training. The content was expanded on according to the background of the attendees and the discussion that was generated which really engaged all of the attendees and there were quite a few epiphany moments. It has certainly generated a lot of discussion within our organisation. The Safehand training and support have been fundamental in developing our Clinical Risk Management Processes within our organisation. I would definitely recommend this training to other NHS organisations.
Lucy Jenks
Lead Digital Clinical Safety Officer, Black Country Healthcare
From the team we would like to thank Safehand for their engaging content over the two day course. Adrian really brought the Clinical Risk Management side of Clinical Digital Safety to the forefront of the team's thinking by giving relatable clinical experiences that we have seen in our own workings. Honesty in terms of approach to the work of the Clinical Safety Officer and underpinning the governance around the requirements were clear to those who were clinical and non-clinical with IT.
Some of our team had carried out Clinical Digital Safety training before through online methods and found the face-to-face approach much more engaging, informative and structured in comparison. With useful training materials provided to make sure that as the learner we can reflect and continue learning and developing in knowledge within Clinical Safety.
Kimberley Dawson
Senior Digital Clinical Safety Officer, Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
We had a great experience during Adrian’s two day Digital Clinical Safety Course. Adrian’s engaging approach and clear explanations made risk management approaches easy to grasp. The interactive activities helped foster a dynamic learning environment. I left the course feeling heard and inspired. I highly recommend the training course to anyone wanting to put Clinical Safety into practice.
Clare Lippiatt
Chief Nursing Information Officer, East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust
Adrian provided real-world experience and training on the practicalities of navigating the NHS digital clinical safety landscape including producing the deliverables (rather than just describing the theory). Adrian’s anecdotal stories of clinical practice and coming up against “unsafe” digital systems provided a great starting point to the importance of the next 2 days and kept us engaged the entire time for what can (at times) be a dry subject. In addition to this, Adrian was more than knowledgeable on the other aspects of clinical safety relating to dose calculators and medical devices and was patient with us bombarding him with queries! Overall great, would recommend this training in-house and feel much more confident now in applying the standards.
Faye Clough
Lead Clinical Safety Engineer, Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
Adrian from Safehand delivered a 2-day clinical risk management and safety officer training course to a multidisciplinary clinical team. The course was well structured, with plenty of examples and clarity. The training material was also very informative and useful for further developing our hospital service. We would definitely use Safehand again for future training.

We found the course to be highly engaging and incredibly useful.
Dr. Dmitriy Chernov
Chief Medical Information Officer and Acute Medicine Registrar, West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust
Adrian from Safehand equipped my colleagues and I with the knowledge needed to ensure safe adoption of health technologies from a clinical safety perspective, in a clinical setting. The course was comprehensive, engaging, and practical, providing me with the tools and techniques necessary to identify and mitigate risks. I highly recommend Safehand to anyone looking to enhance their clinical safety knowledge and expertise.

I found the 2 days to be extremely informative and very comprehensively delivered. Adrian clearly knows his topic well and inspired confidence not just as a trainer but as someone who still practices in the field. This brought a very real perspective to the teaching.

The Clinical Risk Management course was excellent, it was very informative, engaging and responsive to our needs. Adrian delivers the content exceptionally well with many examples to bring the concepts to life. Highly recommend.
