Pensions

RCPCH participated in a consultation by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges about proposals to reform the NHS Pension Scheme.

The College notes that tackling the issue of pension taxation is one of many steps required to alleviate growing workforce pressures within the NHS. This page sets out a short summary of the pension tax legislation and signposts to further resources.

The Government has announced today that the pension rules for senior clinicians are to be changed, to allow them to take on extra shifts, treat more patients and help to reduce waiting times without losing out financially.
