Conflicts of interest are a common and sometimes unavoidable part of the delivery of healthcare. As such, it may not be possible or desirable to completely eliminate the risk of conflicts. Instead, it is preferable to recognise the associated risks and put measures in place to manage the conflicts appropriately when they do arise.
