Mandatory professional registration fees
As part of the 2007 pay settlement agreed for NHS staff on Agenda for Change terms and conditions of service, it was agreed that an allowance of £38 would be made to support the payment of clinical registration fees for those clinical staff in England where registration with one of the regulatory bodies is mandatory in order to practice. Payment was made to appropriate staff in bands 5 - 8(A) inclusive. Payment was made from 1 November 2007 and each year until November 2010.
Following a recent review by the NHS Staff Council employer representatives have decided that the contribution towards clinical registration fees is now discontinued and employers do not have to make the £38 payment beyond October 2010.
