Read-only here. In the tool each of these opens as a working section, and the statuses are worked out from what you have recorded — not typed in by hand.
This is the NHS 5×5 clinical risk matrix published with DCB0129 and DCB0160. It is a lookup table, not a multiplication — and that is not a detail. Severity × likelihood would score a possible death at Major severity and Very low likelihood as 4, and rank it below a likely inconvenience at 2 × 3 = 6. The published table is deliberately asymmetric: severity dominates.
Pick a square to see the band and what that band requires of you.
| Minor | Significant | Considerable | Major | Catastrophic | |

Every hazard carries an initial score and a residual score. The distance between them is the argument a safety case makes — and it is invisible from one number, which is why a hazard log with a single column proves nothing.
Note the severity did not change. Controls usually change how often something goes wrong, not how bad it is when it does — recording a reduced severity after controls is one of the commonest mistakes in a hazard log.
The content is the part you are paying for, so it is not on this page — not even faintly. Here is its shape and size.
Across five stages, nine of them mandatory, each with its own evidence field and guidance written from the standard.
The questions that turn a supplier safety case you have filed into one you have actually assessed against your own deployment.
What has changed, whether the controls still hold, and whether the decision to deploy still stands.
Clinical Risk Management Plan, hazard log, safety case report and a staff briefing — as editable Word files, built from your own record for your CSO to finish and sign.
19 suppliers and 59 published documents, curated by us, so adding a system fills itself in and its evidence can be filed in one click.
A walkthrough is the honest way to show a tool like this — a page of screenshots cannot demonstrate a record built over weeks. We will run through a real deployment end to end and answer whatever your practice is actually stuck on.
Register your practice for free to bring QOF, workforce, access, finance, contract and CQC data into a single live dashboard — benchmarked to national figures with an at-a-glance health score.
