If you are a BSH Guidelines Executive Committee and/or a Task Force Member, we must consider whether or not you have any interests that could conflict with your role.  Conflicts of interest have to be declared when you are appointed; and on an annual basis thereafter.

All Writing Group Members have to declare conflicts of interest before starting work on a Guideline.  This will be valid for 3 years.
