About Vita Panacea
Vita Panacea is a UK health technology company building Nexus, a connected medication management system for people who manage their own treatment, at home and on the move. Nexus brings together the Nexus app and the Nexus device, three connected units for storing and carrying medicines and sharps, and it is designed to consumer product standards because nobody should have to hide their medication. Nexus is a Red Dot Design Concept 2026 winner.
The Role
We are appointing a named clinical safety officer for Nexus, accountable for the clinical safety of the whole system, from the Nexus app and the clinician and pharmacy software to the connected units. Nexus has been assessed as a Class I medical device under UK MDR 2002. You will lead our clinical risk management, reporting to the founder and CEO and working closely with our CTO. The CTO designs the controls and proves them in testing, and you decide whether the remaining risk is acceptable before signing it off.
What You Will Own
- The clinical risk management plan, hazard log and clinical safety case report under DCB0129, kept inside our ISO 14971 risk file so that Nexus has one hazard log rather than two.
- Hazard workshops with our CTO and development partners, covering what could harm a patient, from a missed or duplicated dose to a temperature excursion that goes unnoticed.
- Clinical safety sign-off at every release, and a clinical review of every change once patients are using Nexus.
- The investigation of clinical safety incidents, with clinical input to complaints, vigilance and post-market surveillance.
- Clinical input to usability testing and to the wording patients, clinicians and pharmacy teams see across the software.
- Acting as the named clinical safety contact for our clinical partners' governance teams, and supporting their own DCB0160 assessments.

What You Bring
Essential
- You hold current registration with the GMC, NMC, GPhC or HCPC, backed by substantial clinical experience, and we would particularly welcome a pharmacist, since Nexus centres on medicines.
- You have been the named clinical safety officer under DCB0129 for at least one product that went live, including signing its clinical safety case.
- You are trained in clinical risk management and understand how it fits within an ISO 14971 risk file for a medical device.
- You are comfortable reviewing changes release by release within an agile, IEC 62304 software lifecycle.
- You write clearly and concisely, and you have the confidence to say no when the evidence is not there.

The Engagement
- A consultancy agreement starting as soon as possible, with a day rate agreed by experience.
- Two or three days before Christmas to lead a clinical hazard workshop and review the software's risk file.
- Around five days in January and February to set up the clinical safety file, then one to two days a month, with more around major releases.
- An initial six-month term with the option to extend, working remotely within the UK with occasional travel to London.
