On 2nd August 2023, NHS England published the Fit and Proper Person Test Framework for board members.
The Framework has been developed in response to the recommendations of the Kark Review (2019) outlining requirements for recording Fit and Proper Person Test (FPPT) details on NHS Electronic Staff Record (ESR), mandatory reference requirements and extending coverage to commissioners (including ICBs) and other appropriate arm’s length bodies.
