Conflicts of Interest Policy

The aim of this policy is to protect both the organisation and individuals involved from impropriety or any appearance of impropriety by setting out how the ICB will manage conflicts of interest to ensure there can be confidence in the probity of commissioning decisions and the integrity of the clinicians involved with the work of the ICB. The policy will help to foster an open and transparent culture which provides an environment where everyone working on behalf of the ICB, or in key partnerships with the ICB,  is able to identify and help manage conflicts of interest where they may arise.

The Conflicts of Interest Policy is included within the ICB’s Governance Handbook.
