I work with developers and implementers of health IT systems to ensure their clinical safety in line with the DCB0129 and DCB0160 standards set out by the NHS and mandated under section 250 of the Health and Social Care Act 2012.I support organisations wishing to register with the CQC in preparing the information and their service in order to meet the registration requirements.I work with organisations to align their practices to meet regulatory requirements this involves- reviewing current practices against the CQC\'s Quality Statements - highlighting areas of good practices to ensure all the team are aware of what they are doing well- looking for opportunities to improve and exploring how this can achieved in a sustianable way

ABOUT NICK PAVARD
Clinical risk management follows the same principles as any other form of risk management—it is about robust systems, not just box-ticking. With a foundation built on years of experience in some of the most hazardous clinical environments in the UK, I help healthcare manufacturers and providers bridge the gap between complex digital innovation and safe, effective systems of work. As a Clinical Safety Officer (CSO) and CQC Lead at 8foldGovernance, I specialise in making the \"complicated stuff\" simple for health-tech innovators. I focus on three core areas of authority- Digital Clinical Safety: Navigating the path of DCB0160 and DCB0129 to ensure IT systems protect rather than endanger patients- CQC Regulatory Navigation: Guiding manufacturers as they scale, ensuring they meet registration requirements as technologies develop- Pragmatic Governance: Designing quality assurance processes that improve staff effectiveness and directly impact patient care. I believe that championing compliance is the gateway to quality improvement. Good compliance should lead to improvements in efficiency and effectiveness—making the working environment better for staff and safer for patients. If you are building the future of healthcare and need to navigate the intersection of safety and regulation, let\'s connect.
