The Fit and Proper Person Requirements for the NHS (National Health Service) in the UK are criteria that individuals in key leadership positions, such as directors and non-executive directors, must meet.
These criteria aim to ensure that individuals in these roles are suitable and competent to carry out their responsibilities.
The requirements include considerations of honesty, integrity, and other relevant qualities, and they are designed to maintain public confidence in the management and delivery of healthcare services. Specific details can be found in our Fit and Proper Person policy.
Each year each of our Board members completes a self-declaration and we undertake a number of tests including a review of any potential conflicting interests, a review of social media and a review of relevant registers that show individuals who have been removed from a professional register for misconduct in office
