[Risk] Access to data
[Risk] Differing Visions of what’ we’re doing (Beta, proof of concept)
[Issue] Different people building different overlapping systems
[Risk] NHS trust infrastructure to be able to consume data from PIM
[Issue] What constitutes a medical device? How can we decide what is included and excluded from PIM
[Risk] Lack of Engagement from manufacturers in a maintenance process
[Issue] Some comms teams won’t distribute calls for researchers in pre-election period.
[Risk] Quality of Data - beyond our control
[Risk] User availability
[Risk] Final ownership
[Risk] Consumer perception
