Complete your public declaration of interest
Given Santé publique France’s status as a public administrative institution and the significance of the issues that may arise from its opinions and recommendations, the principles of independence, impartiality, and confidentiality must be upheld.
In accordance with Articles L.1451-1 through 4 of the Public Health Code, derived from Law No. 2011-2012 of December 29, 2011, on strengthening the safety of medicines and health products, Santé publique France has implemented a public declaration of interests to ensure that individuals who assist the agency do not have interests that could compromise its independence.
This declaration applies to the agency’s staff as well as to external experts and collaborators, particularly within the framework of the Agency’s committees. It covers all direct or indirect ties of interest related to the agency’s scope of competence that could give rise to a risk of conflicts of interest or highlight an incompatibility between the tasks performed for Santé publique France and the external activities of an internal or external collaborator.
Public declarations of interest must be submitted via the DPI-SANTE centralized ministerial website.
Public declarations of interest are published on the DPI-SANTE consultation website; archives of DPI declarations previously submitted on behalf of Santé publique France are available on the Santé publique France website.
Santé publique France has developed a framework for analyzing the public declarations of interest submitted by external collaborators involved in the agency’s work. The analysis of conflicts of interest is based on two main criteria: the nature of the declared conflicts of interest and their relationship to the scope of the relevant work, on the one hand, and the intensity of the conflicts in relation to the tasks assigned to the committee or the specific activities requested, on the other.
