Declarations of interest

[chineseJohn]

Hi All,

I'm contracting at a NHS client. They've just sent an email out saying everyone including contractors/interims have to declare any conflicts of interest.

I don't remember ever having to do this before.

Anyone else having to do this? Can I ignore it?

Cheers
John

Do you have any?

This is common elsewhere NHS are just 20 years behind! If you ignore they will think you have something big to hide & show you the door eventually.

As previously stated its common in the NHS, on a 6 months FTC with them at the moment asked me the same (they are paranoid)

Do you have any?

potentially one. I'm doing work for another NHS organisation but not a competitor to the one i'm at now.

I would assume they're more looking for you to fess up if you're a director of Johnson and Johnson AND responsible for clinical procurement at your client.

Probably safer not telling them your wife's a drug dealer. HTHBIDI

As previously said, this is common in other industries. Shouldn't be an issue if you don't have any conflicts of interest, shirley?
