The Trust and its staff have a duty to ensure all dealings are conducted to the highest standards of integrity and NHS monies are used wisely so that the Trust’s finite resources are used in the best interests of patients. In the interests of full transparency, staff are required to comply with our ‘Conflicts of interest policy and procedure’ which sets out how and when they must declare interests, gifts and hospitality.
Decision-making staff are required to make an annual declaration, regardless of whether they have any interests. Decision-making staff are defined as:
- All Board members
- All consultants
- All staff at Agenda for Change (AfC) band 8d and above
- All members of the central Procurement team (given their power to enter into contracts, and purchase equipment and/or services of behalf of the trust)
- Senior members of the Pharmacy team (i.e. those not on AfC band 8d)
- Senior members of the Estates team (i.e. those not on AfC band 8d)
- Senior members of the People and Organisational Development function (i.e. those not on AfC band 8d)
- Members of advisory groups which contribute to direct or delegated decision-making on the commissioning or provision of taxpayer funded services
The list above generally excludes temporary staff, as these would not be expected to have any decision-making influence, although certain staff who are engaged on a more longer-term interim basis should be included.
All staff are required to make positive declarations internally on receipt of any gift, hospitality or sponsorship or any known interest that may be a conflict to them and the trust.

| Sparkes, Mr. Matthew Anthony | Physiotherapist Inpat (M) | Financial interests | Gifts | In my role as a physiotherapist I had been treating a patient over a period of time. The patient was leaving the hospital to go home. Just before the patient was leaving to go home she gave myself and another therapist some thank you gifts (separate gifts). I did not personally receive these gifts as I was busy elsewhere seeing another patient. The gifts given were Barbour Heritage perfume For Him Eau De Parfum and a Barbour duffle bag. Having looked online the value of both the products in a deal was £76 from the Fragrance Shop. Unfortunately I could not politely decline the gifts or ask the value as the patient had already left the hospital. If I had known I would not had accepted these gifts as per the Trusts guidelines. Additionally these gifts were received after the patient had received her care. After knowing about the gift I spoke with my line manager who sought the advice from the conflicts of interests team. |
