NHS England have guidance on conflicts of interest that arise.

Some staff are more likely than others to have a decision-making influence on the use of taxpayers’ money, because of the requirements of their role. These people are referred to as ‘decision making staff’ and it is mandatory for these staff to make a declaration, or nil declaration, each financial year.

However, all staff who hold a conflict of interest, have a responsibility to make a declaration if they have one and continue to make a declaration each year for as long as there is a known conflict.

As from 1 April 2023, all interests are to be declared via ESR. All decision making staff will be made aware of their responsibility by notification via ESR.

Further guidance can be found YourSpace. ​​​​​

All interests should be declared within 28 days.

If you have any questions please email: declarations@merseycare.nhs.uk

Education and training arrangements

Induction programmes

All induction training for new starters remains unaffected with a blended approach of eLearning and face to face training, ensuring safety measures are always in place. Arrangements will be constantly reviewed in line with existing business continuity plans and further communications issued as and when there are changes.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email: learninganddevelopment@merseycare.nhs.uk

Mandatory training

If you have any concerns, please discuss them with your manager and do not undertake any practices that you do not feel competent to perform. Any colleague who may have special requirements, or returning from long term sickness or maternity leave, who feel they may need face to face training please contact: learninganddevelopment@merseycare.nhs.uk ​​​​​​​

The Trust recognises the extreme pressures that staff are experiencing. 

The majority of mandatory training can be completed online via e-learning and all staff, where possible, should be encouraged and supported to maintain their compliance as this remains a key Trust performance target. More detailed information is available in the online prospectus.
