Clinical Advisory Board.
Clinical AI without practising clinicians reviewing it is a research demo. The Lorraine Clinical Advisory Board will be the standing panel of specialists and registrars who hold the model — and the team — to account. We are seating it now.
Small panel.Loud accountability.

Four responsibilities.
- 01
Guideline coverage
Review whether Lorraine reflects current SA Standard Treatment Guidelines, EML tiers, and specialty-specific protocols. Flag drift before it reaches clinicians.
- 02
Clinical safety
Audit model outputs on real clinical scenarios. Vote on what counts as an acceptable clinical answer in a supervised decision-support context.
- 03
Scope of use
Help shape where Lorraine should — and should not — be used. A standing vote on new surface areas before they ship to clinicians.
- 04
Outside voice
Speak publicly about Lorraine where it is appropriate, and push back internally where it isn’t. The Advisory Board is independent of the product team by design.
Clinicians who pull no punches.
The board will be small, independent, and clinically diverse. We are recruiting across the following profiles.
Practising clinicians
Specialists, registrars, and senior nurses with active SA clinical practice.
Academic medicine
Medical educators, examiners, and researchers close to the CMSA and NDoH ecosystems.
Safety & governance
Clinicians with experience in clinical governance, POPIA, or medical device oversight.
Patient advocacy
Voices that keep the patient lens on every decision we bring to the board.
The panel is being seated.
We are not going to list clinicians who have not agreed to be listed. As seats are confirmed, members will be named here and on the Lor-1 model card, alongside any conflicts of interest they disclose. Until then, treat this page as a description of the mandate rather than of a sitting board.
Light-touch by design.
Real clinicians have real jobs. The board is structured so that senior expertise can contribute meaningfully without asking for weekly time.
- Meetings
- Quarterly review, 90 minutes, remote
- Between meetings
- Ad-hoc input on clinical safety flags
- Attribution
- Named on the model card and this page — optional
- Compensation
- Honorarium per meeting, set transparently

Short form, about 10 minutes. We read every application and reply within a week — whether we think there’s a fit or not.
