APPOINTMENT AND REVIEW PROCEDURES
Declaration Statements and Statements of Policy
Statement of Policy regarding fitness to practise proceedings by a
licensing/regulatory body and relating to criminal investigations in the UK or
overseas.
Registration with the General Medical Council or General Dental Council imposes on
doctors and dentists the duty to provide a good standard of medical care for, and to
behave appropriately, towards patients. NHS Employers also have a duty to ensure
that patients receive a good standard of medical care and ensure as far as possible
the safety of patients. We therefore need to establish if you have been found guilty
of a criminal offence, been bound over or cautioned or are currently the subject of
proceedings which might lead to a conviction, an order binding you over or a caution,
in the UK or any other country.
Applicants for posts in the NHS are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act
1974. Application forms will include a declaration for applicants to complete declaring
any previous or pending prosecutions or convictions, including those considered
‘spent’ under this Act. Forms will also include a declaration of any cautions or bind
overs.
We also need to establish if you have been the subject of any fitness to practise
proceedings in the past, or any fitness to practise proceedings are being
contemplated, by a licensing or regulatory body in the UK or another country and this
is also reflected in the declaration.
This information will be treated in confidence and will not debar you from
appointment unless the selection panel considers that it renders you unsuitable for
appointment. In reaching such a decision we will consider the nature of the
conviction/action, how long ago it took place and any others factors that may be
relevant.
Failure to disclose a criminal offence, having been bound over or cautioned or that
you are currently the subject of criminal proceedings which might lead to a
conviction, an order binding you over or a caution, or fitness to practise proceedings
undertaken or being undertaken by an appropriate licensing or regulatory body, may
disqualify you from appointment, or result in summary dismissal/disciplinary action
and referral to the General Medical Council [General Dental Council] for
consideration if such a discrepancy came to light.
If you would like to discuss what effect any previous convictions, police investigations
or fitness to practise proceedings taken or being taken either in the UK or by an
overseas licensing or regulatory body might have on your application, you may
telephone the Employment Services Adviser, Medical Staffing, on 01738 473302, in
confidence, for advice.
Model Declaration Statement regarding
(a) any criminal offence, being bound over or cautioned, or current
proceedings which might lead to a conviction, an order binding you over or
a caution and
(b) fitness to practice proceedings taken or being currently contemplated by a
licensing/regulatory body
1. Have you been convicted of a criminal offence, been bound over or cautioned or
are currently the subject of any police investigations, which might lead to a
conviction, an order binding you over or a caution in the UK or any other country?
YES/NO
Note: Applicants for posts in the NHS are exempt from the Rehabilitation of
Offenders Act 1974. You are required to declare prosecutions or convictions,
including those considered ‘spent’ under this Act.
If yes, please provide details of the criminal offence, order binding you over or
caution or details of any current proceedings which might lead to a conviction, an
order binding you over or a caution, including approximate date, the offence, and the
authority and country which dealt with the offence.
2. To the best of your knowledge have you been or are you currently subject to any
fitness to practise proceedings by an appropriate licensing or regulatory body in
the UK or any other country?
YES/NO
If yes, please provide details of the nature of proceedings undertaken, or
contemplated, including approximate date of proceedings, country where
proceedings were undertaken and the name and address of the licensing or
regulatory body concerned.
I hereby declare that the information given here is true.
