Clinical AI Safety

Simulator 04 · Launch simulator

Hazard Log Builder.

An interactive, feedback-driven rehearsal of the single most important artefact a Clinical Safety Officer produces. Launching with the first three curriculum modules.

The Hazard Log Builder walks you through a realistic NHS AI deployment scenario one decision at a time. You identify clinical hazards, articulate them in language that survives audit, quantify severity and likelihood, and specify controls that actually control.

Structured feedback at each step is modelled on the kind of challenge an experienced CSO would bring to your first draft. Nothing is graded; everything is interrogated. The output is an exportable hazard log you can take back to your Trust and adapt.

This is the first of ten simulators. It pairs with Module 5 (Writing a Hazard Log That Actually Works) but stands alone.

What you rehearse

Five decisions every hazard entry has to get right.

  1. 01

    Identify the hazard

    A hazard is not a failure mode. Rehearse the distinction on real clinical workflows where the temptation to merge the two is strongest.

  2. 02

    Articulate the clinical consequence

    Vague consequences produce vague controls. Practise describing harm in clinical terms a reviewer cannot argue with.

  3. 03

    Quantify severity and likelihood

    Honest scoring under time pressure, with the reasoning made explicit. The simulator surfaces the assumptions you did not realise you were making.

  4. 04

    Specify a control that controls

    Training is not a control. Policy is not a control. Rehearse the difference on scenarios where the distinction actually matters.

  5. 05

    Decide residual risk

    Accept, monitor, or reject. The simulator asks you to justify the decision and then pressure-tests the justification.
