Appendix 2Declarations of interests by Guideline Development Group members

With a range of practical experience relevant to alcohol dependence in the GDG, members were appointed because of their understanding and expertise in healthcare for people with alcohol dependence and support for their families and carers, including: scientific issues; health research; the delivery and receipt of healthcare, along with the work of the healthcare industry; and the role of professional organisations and organisations for people with alcohol dependence and their families and carers.

To minimise and manage any potential conflicts of interest, and to avoid any public concern that commercial or other financial interests have affected the work of the GDG and influenced guidance, members of the GDG must declare as a matter of public record any interests held by themselves or their families which fall under specified categories (see below). These categories include any relationships they have with the healthcare industries, professional organisations and organisations for people with alcohol dependence and their families and carers.

Individuals invited to join the GDG were asked to declare their interests before being appointed. To allow the management of any potential conflicts of interest that might arise during the development of the guideline, GDG members were also asked to declare their interests at each GDG meeting throughout the guideline development process. The interests of all the members of the GDG are listed below, including interests declared prior to appointment and during the guideline development process.

My previous role included managing the production of the Review of effectiveness of treatment for alcohol problems which includes the research evidence relevant to this guideline. I was also involved in the development of Models of Care for Alcohol Misusers (declared January 2009).
