Any member of an NHS board must formally disclose any personal or financial interests that could potentially influence their decision-making on a particular matter, ensuring transparency and preventing conflicts of interest when voting on issues related to the NHS.
To identify potential conflicts of interest where a board member might benefit personally from a decision made by the board.
This could include financial interests in companies that provide services to the NHS, personal relationships with individuals involved in NHS contracts, or professional affiliations that could impact decision-making.
Board members are usually required to submit a declaration of interest form at the start of their appointment and update it regularly if any new interests arise.
