Know every AI system running across your organisation. Reduce clinical risk before it becomes patient harm.
vikela is the AI governance platform for GP federations, PCNs and ICBs. Discover shadow AI, assign accountability, and generate the regulatory evidence — in one system.
Surface every AI tool in clinical use across the organisation, including the ones nobody put on a register.
Every product gets a named Clinical Safety Officer, a Senior Responsible Owner, and a committee that signs it off.
DCB0160, DCB0129, hazard logs and committee packs assemble themselves from the work the CSO is already doing.

Am I safer than last month? Yes — but three products still need attention.
Find every AI tool you didn't know was running
vikela scans your clinical systems, SSO logs and digital procurement records to surface AI tools in clinical use — including the ones your CSO has never been told about. The most common audit finding in primary care is the AI nobody admitted to.
Risk heatmap — PCN by hazard severity
Count of products with open hazards at each severity, per primary care network. Hover a cell for detail.
AI governance maturity
Where the federation sits against the five-stage maturity model.
Anchored to the National Digital Care Authority Digital Clinical Safety maturity framework.
Lifecycle funnel
Where AI is in the assurance pipeline.

Clinical Product Register
Aldermoor Health — every clinical IT product in use across the federation, ranked by assurance state. Select a product to open its lifecycle record.
CSO workspace - DCB0160 lifecycle management
Run assessments and hazard workshops, map the patient journey, and author the safety artefacts - all versioned against the system record.
Assurance review
A phased four-pillar review sits inside the DCB0160 loop. Findings flow straight to the hazard log, the register and the draft governance pack — the CSO rates them, no one re-types them.
The AI sitting beside the Clinical Safety Officer — not in their seat.
vikela's critical friend challenges your reasoning, surfaces blind spots and draws on patterns from previous assessments. It never scores hazards, populates the log or signs off on residual risk. Accountability stays with the CSO — intentionally, and by design.

Where AI Enters the Patient Journey
A person-centred general-practice pathway. Each AI touchpoint is plotted where it intervenes and linked to its hazard ID — so the multidisciplinary team can walk the journey and attach hazards before the workshop, not after an incident.
Standards & Guidance
The national framework vikela is built on — and the primary-care-specific guidance every federation should have to hand.
Clinical risk management standards for deploying organisations and manufacturers — the backbone of every lifecycle gate.
The first question every deployment answers: do DCB0129 and DCB0160 apply to this product?
Guidance for stand-alone software and apps — including where an AI triage tool crosses into SaMD.
National Patient Safety Events Service - the national reporting framework every vikela event report aligns to, including SEAs.
College guidance on safe adoption of AI tools in primary care, including ambient scribes and online triage.
Champion for patients on medicines and medical device safety — putting patients at the heart of decisions.
The taxonomy behind vikela's risk categorisation — also used in the UK Healthcare AI Safety Registry.
Where vikela event learning is shared — NPSES-aligned, so the whole system learns, not just one practice.
Consultant CSO cover, safety-case authorship and revalidation reviews for clinical AI — per product or per review cycle, no lock-in.
