At Leeds Teaching Hospitals NSH Trust, we have defined ‘decision making staff’ as those on Agenda for Change Band 7 and above and all Consultant staff. These staff are likely to be budget holders and /or those with purchasing influence/ roles within the Trust.

It’s fundamental that staff at the Trust are transparent and adhere to both our local policy and guidance set out by NHS England and declare any appropriate conflicts of interest against the clearly defined rules. Our ‘decision making staff’ are required to make either positive or nil declarations, aligned to each financial year. All other staff grades of staff are required to make positive declarations on receipt of any gift, hospitality or sponsorship or any known interest that may be a conflict to them and the Trust.

The information displayed is a live record of the Trusts declaration registers. The data fields will be closed each year at 7 July – following end of Quarter 1 appraisal season. Direct questions relating to declarations required by staff are included in the Trust appraisal form and the consultant on line system.
