Agenda for Change


Agenda for Change

The NHS (UK) pay system that applies to more than a million directly employed NHS staff members, except very senior managers and those covered by the Doctors’ and Dentists’ Pay Review Body. The new standardised pay system aims to ensure fair pay and a clearer system for career progression. Staff members are paid based on performance, job responsibility, annual appraisals, and the skills and knowledge they apply to these posts. For some, the Agenda for Change has resulted a reduction in pay; for others, it has resulted in increased pay and holiday entitlement.
