We are reviewing our digital clinical safety standards (DCB 0129 and DCB 0160) to ensure they align with modern technology and user needs.

We’re inviting interested parties to register their interest in joining our pre-consultation focus groups for DCB 0129 in February 2025. The focus groups will inform the public consultation to be held later in 2025, with a separate process for DCB0160 to follow.

These standards guide IT manufacturers and NHS providers in risk assessment procedures to ensure the safe implementation of digital systems in healthcare.
