We are consulting on a set of proposals to improve and strengthen the Code of Practice for experts who provide advice on which decisions about the regulation of medicines and medical devices are based, to ensure that experts providing the advice are independent and impartial, and that the processes in place to manage conflicts of interest are robust and clear to all.

This consultation ran from
11am on 12 April 2022 to 11:45pm on 24 May 2022

Through the proposals outlined in this consultation we aim to:

Actively manage conflicts of interest and associated issues of gifts, hospitality, other payments and influence

Proactively support individuals to ensure that they know what is and is not acceptable – to prevent wrongdoing from occurring

Provide the public with accessible information so that they can see what is happening and, where appropriate, ask questions

Take firm and decisive action when individual wrongdoing is discovered – including where appropriate, disciplinary action

The proposed changes also seek to encourage greater inclusion of patient and their representatives in advisory committee discussions, so that individuals with lived and personal experience can contribute to discussions more easily.
