Company description
Dora is a cloud-based dental practice management system built by Dora Software Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales. It runs in the browser on computers and tablets and covers the day-to-day work of a dental practice: scheduling, clinical notes, charting, treatment plans, radiographs, billing and NHS claims. It is available in several languages.
Dora records and displays what clinicians enter. It deliberately does not interpret clinical data (no diagnosis, treatment suggestions or image analysis), so it sits outside the medical device regulations.
We’re an early-stage, self-funded company. The product is built and in security testing, and we’re now going through NHS certification. That’s why we’re looking for a Clinical Safety Officer.
Role description
We’re looking for a freelance Clinical Safety Officer to take Dora through DCB0129 as the manufacturer’s CSO, and to stay with us as the product grows. It’s remote and part-time, and we’d like to work in phases:
- Clinical Risk Management Plan. Establish the clinical risk management process for Dora.
- Hazard Log and Clinical Safety Case Report. Identify and assess clinical hazards (for example: the wrong patient’s record selected, a radiograph filed against the wrong patient, a tooth recorded under the wrong number, a missed allergy or medical history alert), agree controls, and sign the safety case ahead of our first NHS customer.
- Ongoing. Light, regular review of product changes and any safety incidents, keeping the hazard log and safety case current.
The product is extensively documented, and the founder will do the groundwork on drafts for you to review, challenge and own. We’re happy to talk about whatever way of working makes sense to you.
We’d like a fixed price for each phase. Please include your day rate, and a rough estimate if you can.
Qualifications
- Current registration with a UK healthcare regulator (GMC, GDC, NMC, HCPC or GPhC). Essential, because the CSO signs the safety case in their own name
- Clinical safety training in line with NHS England’s CSO requirements
- Experience as a manufacturer’s CSO under DCB0129, ideally with practice management or electronic patient record systems.
- Professional indemnity insurance that covers CSO work.
- Familiarity with DCB0160, to help our customer practices with their own side.
- A dental background is a real plus, but not required.
- Comfortable working remotely and asynchronously with a small, technical team.
