Frequently asked questions
What is AI assurance in the NHS?
+
AI assurance is the process of demonstrating that an AI-enabled health product is safe, effective, ethical and compliant, across clinical safety (DCB0129/0160), data protection, medical device regulation, bias/fairness, transparency and post-market monitoring.
What is the NHS SBS Healthcare AI Framework?
+
The NHS SBS Healthcare AI Framework is a procurement route for AI products used in health and care. Suppliers must evidence clinical safety, information governance, medical device status, ethics and technical robustness to be listed.
Do AI products need DCB0129?
+
Yes, any AI used in NHS clinical care needs DCB0129 (manufacturer) and, on deployment, DCB0160 (deployer). AI-specific hazards (bias, drift, hallucination, explainability) must be in the hazard log.
Is an AI product also a medical device?
+
Usually yes, if it informs a clinical decision. It will need classification under UK MDR, a technical file, ISO 13485/IEC 62304 alignment, UKCA marking and MHRA registration.
Can DigiSafe support NHS SBS AI framework bids?
+
Yes, we've written clinical safety, DTAC and medical device evidence for multiple NHS SBS AI framework submissions.
