Dean Mawson – Clinical Director / Founder
With over three decades of experience in healthcare, spanning clinical practice, management, and health informatics, I have dedicated my career to advancing patient safety and improving healthcare delivery through digital innovation.
My journey in digital health began as a clinical lead for an Electronic Patient Record (EPR) deployment, where I gained invaluable insights into the intersection of clinical practice and technology.
This experience led me to join a leading digital health supplier, where I played a crucial role in Clinical Risk Management and the development of PAS/EPR systems for acute care settings.
As an independent Clinical Safety Officer (CSO), I now support digital health suppliers and healthcare organisations in achieving regulatory compliance. My commitment to advancing the field extends to mentorship and active participation in shaping national policies. As a Fellow of the British Computing Society and a member of the Clinical Safety Special Interest Group Leadership Committee, I contribute to improving competencies and refining regulatory activities at a national level.
At DPM Digital Health, we are dedicated to fostering an environment that prioritises patient safety through the integration of technology, effective communication, and collaborative teamwork. Our mission is to leverage our collective expertise to create innovative solutions that enhance the quality and safety of patient care in our evolving healthcare landscape.
