Regulators turn a blind-eye to conflicts of interest
By Dr Peter Wilmshurst

https://drpeterwilmshurst.wordpress...rs-turn-a-blind-eye-to-conflicts-of-interest/

Describes his own and others' experiences of senior doctors not disclosing conflicts of interest in research and on decision making bodies about treatments.

Concludes:

Unless regulators, such as the MHRA, strictly enforce disqualifying COI and unless the GMC punishes doctors who dishonestly conceal their COI, we will not achieve transparent disclosure.

Possibly a useful contact for @dave30th re psychiatrists and Unum etc, plus not sticking to the Declaration of Helsinki.
