Conflict of interests

All interests will remain on the public register for six months after the interest has expired, however, records will be retained by the ICB for a minimum of 6 years after the date on which it expired. These may be obtained by contacting: nencicb-sun.governance@nhs.net.

The ICB's Standards of Business Conduct and Conflicts of Interest Policy applies to all its staff.

Any breaches of the Policy relating will be published here in line with statutory guidance. To-date, there have been no such breaches. Individuals, who have concerns regarding conflict of interest or ethical misconduct either in respect of themselves or colleagues, should raise it in the first instance with their manager. Alternatively, they can raise it as an issue using the Raising Concerns at Work Policy or contacting the Conflict of Interest Guardian.

Conflict of Interest Guardian

The role of the Conflicts of Interest Guardian is to act as a conduit for anyone with concerns relating to conflicts of interest; to be a safe point of contact for concerns to be raised; to support the application of the principles and policies for managing conflicts, and to provide impartial and unconflicted advice and judgement in cases where it is not obvious whether a material conflict exists or how best to manage.

Should you wish to raise a concern please contact david.stout5@nhs.net
