Thinking about becoming a Clinical Safety Officer (CSO) – or need one but don’t want the role yourself?
On Friday 23rd January 2026, our CEO Dean Mawson is speaking at a live panel event about what it really means to be a CSO in UK digital health.
If you’ve ever thought:
“Should I become a CSO?”
“What does the role involve?”
“How do I train – and what happens after?”
This session is for you. It will cover the basics, the realities, and how AI is changing the role in theory and practice.
Speakers will also talk honestly about what to do when you need a CSO but don’t necessarily want to be one yourself – something that’s going to become a common question in primary care especially, as the responsibility for assuring digital tools shifts from ICBs onto GP practices.
