Declaration of Interest for Taskforce and Writing Group Members

If you are a BSH Guidelines Executive Committee and/or a Task Force Member, we must consider whether or not you have any interests that could conflict with your role.  Conflicts of interest have to be declared when you are appointed; and on an annual basis thereafter.

All Writing Group Members have to declare conflicts of interest before starting work on a Guideline.  This will be valid for 3 years.

If the interest is no longer current, you may declare it as a lapsed personal specific interest.


Personal non-specific interest if you have a current personal non- specific interest in the healthcare industry concern which does not relate specifically to the guideline area under consideration.
Non-personal specific interest if you are aware that the department for which you are responsible has in the last 5 years worked in the area of the guideline but you have not personally received payment in any form from the healthcare industry for the work done.
Non-personal, non-specific interest if you are aware that the department for which you are responsible is currently receiving payment from the healthcare industry concerned which does not relate specifically to the product under consideration.
Family interest. In the last 12 months has a member of your family had any financial involvement with the healthcare industry, or are they planning to have such financial involvement? This could include: holding a directorship, or other paid position, or carrying out consultancy, or fee paid work, or having shareholdings or other beneficial interests, or receiving expenses and hospitality over and above what would be reasonably expected to attend meetings and conferences.
