A 'Conflict of Interest' is a set of circumstances by which a reasonable person would consider that an individual's ability to apply judgement or act, in the context of delivering, commissioning, or assuring taxpayer funded health and care services is, or could be, impaired or influenced by another interest they hold.
Examples of this could be:
- Accepting gifts from a supplier or customer
- having a second job
- owning shares
- accepting hospitality (meals or refreshments) above the value of £25.
How do I register or view a Conflict of Interest?
Employees can use their Electronic Staff Record (ESR) to declare Conflicts of Interest and Managers can also use ESR to review these.
If you have declared a Conflict of Interest in the past which is still active, or if you have any interests that need to be declared in line with the Conflicts of Interest Policy, please follow the guidance for recording Conflicts of Interest that can be found on the Hub.
