Pay and conditions
Introduction
This section provides information on the pay and conditions for RCN members working in the NHS, other areas of the public sector and the independent sector.
In Pay Round 2008 you can download the evidence which the Royal College of Nursing, Staff Side and the Department of Health presented to the NHS Pay Review Body (NHSPRB). There is an explanation of the pay review process and the results of the RCN’s recent consultation with members about the proposed three-year deal. You can download briefing material to help you understand the background to this year's pay round and the awards that other public sector groups, such as teachers and prison officers, have received.
The pages within this section also contain the current NHS pay rates for 2007-2008, and a guide to the pay, terms and conditions for the NHS (known as Agenda for Change).
