STATEMENT OF INTEREST (please describe why you want to be involved in this project)
DECLARATION OF INTEREST
Please complete the declaration of interest form included on the next page for all practice/site staff who would be involved in the project.
The determination as to whether or not a declared interest is in conflict with the work of NICE will sometimes require careful judgement based on the facts and the nature of the business being conducted (in this case, the diagnosis and monitoring of asthma). In the event of doubt, it is best determined by considering how the interest will be perceived by an ordinary member of the public.

Declarations of interests form for the asthma diagnosis and monitoring guideline: Implementation Feasibility Project

All interests that might unduly influence an individual’s judgement and objectivity in the conduct of NICE business should be declared. If in doubt, please declare all interests.

Particular consideration should be given to interests involving payment or financial inducement or any reputational interest related to the delivery of asthma services, including drugs, devices and technologies which may affect the delivery of the project.

I declare that I have read and understood the NICE Conflicts of Interest Policy and that I wish the following interests to be recorded, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the policy. I am aware that failure to declare relevant interests may result in being required to stand down from the project.

The time period for relevant interests is 12 months before the start of the project and for the duration of the project.
