<p>NHS England guidance makes clear that all National Health Service staff, including
consultants should declare all private practice on appointment, and/or any new private
practice when it arises. Where clinical private practice gives rise to a conflict
of interest then the general management actions outlined in guidance should be considered
and applied to mitigate risks</p><p><br> In addition, the General Medical Council
is the independent regulator of doctors in the United Kingdom and sets the professional
standards that all doctors must follow to practice in the UK. Doctors planning to
refer a patient to an organisation in which they have a financial or commercial interest
must tell the patient about that interest and make a note of this in the patient’s
medical record. Doctors must be prepared to explain and justify their decisions and
actions. Serious or persistent failure to follow this guidance will put their registration
at risk</p><p><br> <br> <br> <br></p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>
