Code of Conduct and Declaration of Interests

Declaring and registering conflicts of interest: policy and procedures

The College endeavours to meet and maintain expected standards and processes for good governance and has had arrangements in place for many years to record and publish the interests registered by trustees of the College as a Charity registered with the Charity Commission. In 2016 the arrangements were reviewed and will be subject to periodic review in the future. The current code of conduct underpins these arrangements.

The purpose of the Register of Interests is to place on record actual or potential conflicts of interest. Council members are required to update their entries throughout the period of office and are reminded annually to do so. In addition, the Code of Conduct requires Council, board and committee members to declare any relevant interests in the course of College business.This is a standing item of business taken at the commencement of all Council, board, committee or sub-committee meetings and is recorded in the minutes of such meetings.

Declaring interests at College boards and committees

The agendas of all College board and committee meetings require members to be aware of conflicts of interest in respect of any items on the agenda. If this arises members are expected to speak to the chair prior to the meeting in order to agree how best to proceed. This is a formal item of business on each agenda and is recorded in the meeting minutes. This is covered in the Conflicts of Interest policy.

The Association of Healthcare Technology Providers for Imaging, Radiotherapy and Care (AXrEM) has asked the RCR to publish a link to its own Code of Conduct, which can be found on their website.

Any queries should be directed to the Governance Team.
