Title:

[Retired] Managing Conflicts of Interest: Training for CCGs

Description:

RETIRED 23/12/2022

NHS England has rolled out online mandatory training to support CCGs to manage conflicts of interest. The training has been developed in collaboration with CCGs and is intended to raise awareness of the risks of conflicts of interest and provide advice on how to manage them.

The training package has three modules:

• Module 1 covers what conflicts of interest are; how to declare and manage conflicts of interest including individuals’ responsibilities; and how to report any concerns

• Module 2 provides further information on managing conflicts of interest throughout the whole commissioning cycle and in recruitment processes

• Module 3 provides advice on how chairs should manage conflicts of interest; an overview of the safeguards that should be applied in Primary Care Commissioning Committees; and how to identify and manage breaches of conflicts of interest rules, through a series of practical scenarios

Each training module ends with a short assessment – individuals will need to achieve 80% in the assessment to pass the module.
