NHS Pension Scheme review

The changes to the NHS Pension Scheme for England and Wales were introduced on 1 April 2008. The changes that were agreed between NHS Employers and the NHS trade unions, ensure that the NHS Pension Scheme continues to meet the needs of a modern NHS and its staff, and is sustainable in the longer term.

Information for staff

If you are a member of staff, you can find details about all the changes on the Pensions Division website at www.pensions.nhsbsa.nhs.uk. There are fact sheets for all staff as well as people who have left the Scheme, NHS pensioners and dependents.

If you are working in the NHS and would like to join the NHS Pension Scheme, please speak to your local pensions officer, payroll officer or HR department.
