EADV Code of conduct

From the EADV Ethics Committee Report for the 44th Board Meeting – 2 October 2013 | Signed by Prof. Michael Waugh | EADV Founding Member and Chairman of the EADV Ethics Committee (2009-2013)

Duties to Patients, Colleagues, and Society

Physicians of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology should at all times strive towards the care that is most appropriate for their patients, in the light of current knowledge.

They should strive to keep their knowledge up-to-date.

They should observe honesty and proper conduct to their colleagues, not only in Dermatology and Venereology, but through all aspects of medicine.

They should not form judgement on any professional situation until full knowledge of the facts is known.

They should be watchful in their dealings with governmental or non-governmental bodies, and commercial industry.

They should abide by these principles throughout their professional lives.

In addition, it was decided by the Ethics Committee to amend it, and add:

  1. Members of the EADV should not allow personal animosity to interfere with the collegiality or function of the EADV.
  2. Members of the EADV should not use their position in relationship to patients, professional activities, commerce and industry, governments and non-governmental organisations, for their personal advantage or personal benefit.

A “Codes of Conduct and Behaviour Form” is undersigned by the nominee as part of the nomination submission procedure. Such a Form is rendered available to all potential nominees whenever a Call is open through the Calls for nominations module on the EADV website (in the members-only section – MyEADV - under Opportunities)

EADV Code of behaviour for candidates

The candidates are prohibited from:

  • Reflecting negatively on any other candidate verbally, in print, or electronically.
  • Offering of any incentives in exchange for promise of voting support.
  • Sending any written or electronic messages related to the election during the voting period.
  • Any complaint about the electoral process must go to, and only to, the Chair of the Nomination and Election Monitoring Committee (NEMC).
  • Accepting any support of any kind whatsoever in relation to the election from a commercial organisation or from any other third party including academic and professional organisations.

This list is not exhaustive and candidates should at all times behave in a manner that reflects the highest personal, professional, and ethical standards expected from those aspiring to achieve the Academy’s highest office. Where there is doubt the opinion of the NEMC should be sought. Ignorance will not be an excuse for any activity deemed unacceptable.

Endorsements of a candidate by any sister and/or sub-speciality organisation(s) are considered inappropriate.

A “Codes of Conduct and Behaviour Form” is undersigned by the nominee as part of the nomination submission procedure. Such a Form is rendered available to all potential nominees whenever a Call is open through the Calls for nominations module on the EADV website (in the members-only section – MyEADV - under Opportunities)

EADV Conflict of interest disclosure

The EADV is committed to transparency and objective decision making at all organisational levels. The Academy is dedicated to providing continuing medical education that is independent, fair, balanced and objective and free from commercial bias. In order that the Academy operates effectively for these purposes, it is important that the Academy’s decisions and actions are not unduly influenced by any special interests of individual Members. Therefore, it is important to identify actual or potential conflicts of interest in a formal way. In most cases, disclosure will be sufficient to protect the integrity of the Academy’s operations. Rarely, where disclosure is inadequate, further action may be necessary.

Academy Members in Leadership Positions (Executive Committee Members, Members of the Board, Members and Chairpersons of Committees, Chairpersons of Task Forces, Task Force Facilitator, Members and Chairpersons of Working Groups, Editors of EADV publications (the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (JEADV), the JEADV Clinical Practice (JEACP) and the EADV News)) should understand that they occupy a position of trust and are expected to act at all times in the best interests of the Academy in good faith and without favour or bias and avoid even the appearance of using their positions to advance any personal interests or should not act for personal or third party gain.

These Members in Leadership Positions should submit descriptions of all personal and professional circumstances which might create a private interest in conflict with the interest of the Academy. A comprehensive disclosure of financial relationships with a commercial interest producing health care goods or services consumed or used by patients must be indicated on the form provided and signed.

Members in Leadership Positions should sign and update the following statement at least every 6 months:

“I shall act at all times in good faith and without bias and favour to interests outside the Academy. I shall always declare outside interests which could potentially conflict with my duty to the Academy and I shall not act in a way inconsistent with the purposes of the Academy.”

Members in Leadership Positions are expected to proactively update and submit the Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form should any change to their conflict of interest status occur, even before the renewal deadline of 6 months.

Course chairs and lecturers (involved in both live and non-live educational activities of the EADV), webinars, congress and symposium chairs and speakers should submit the Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form before their participation to any of these EADV activities.

The Secretary General will retain statements of potential conflict of interest in the care of the Academy’s office and he/she will make them available to the Members of the Board, if required. The Secretary General reviews the statements and if further review is required, the Secretary General will forward the statements to the Ethics Committee at the same time informing the Executive Committee of any conflict that may be significant. The Ethics Committee then initiates any request for further information informing and duly involving the concerned Member and reports its findings to the Secretary General and the Board of any items found to be particularly significant.

Any eventual conflict is disclosed by all nominees through a dedicated form, the Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form (COIDF), as part of the nomination procedure. Such a specific COIDF is rendered available to all potential nominees whenever a Call is open through the Calls for nominations module on the EADV website (in the members-only section – MyEADV - under Opportunities).

For reasons other than nomination submissions, Conflict of Interest Disclosure (COID) is available to all EADV members through their profiles (by logging into the MyEADV section of the Academy’s website and accessible via every member’s personal profile (see My Profile → COID)
