Article Abstract:

Ethical guidelines on corporate sponsorship within the National Health Service are necessary. United Kingdom Central Council guidelines give little practical help.

Royal College of Nursing guidelines emphasise the importance of checking a sponsor's integrity and establishing conditions of acceptance. Monitoring of services is essential.
