This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced registered clinician to join the Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust's digital team as a Clinical Safety Officer (CSO).

As a CSO you will have a vital role in ensuring digital transformation is undertaken as safely and effectively as possible. To succeed in this role you will have excellent interpersonal and leadership skills, in order to promote the role of clinical safety across cross-functional teams. You will work alongside a multi-disciplinary digital clinical team and be supported by a Chief Nursing Information Officer (CNIO) and Chief Clinical Information Officer (CCIO).

The post holder will carry out clinical risk management activities, including the identification, assessment and mitigation of clinical risks during system implementation, modification or decommissioning. These activities will be undertaken in a structured manner and result in the output of clinical safety documentation, which the post holder will be responsible for maintaining.
