Job evaluation roadshow: Princess Royal Hospital
17 Sep 2026, 09:00 - 14:00
Choose event information:
Do you work at the Princess Royal Hospital in West Sussex? We'll be there on 17 September to talk to you about job evaluation and the band 5 review in England.
How much do you know about job evaluation, the new national nursing job profiles, and how this affects how much you get paid?
We'll be visiting the Princess Royal Hospital to speak to you about all this and more. Look around for us around the wards where we'll be explaining all you need to know about job evaluation, with the opportunity to ask us about what you can be doing now and what to expect.
Why this matters
Last year, new national nursing profiles were published; these are used as part of the job evaluation process. This, in turn, determines the pay bands for all NHS roles on Agenda for Change contracts.
Your job description is a crucial part of this and needs to be an accurate reflection of your role.
The government has instructed NHS employers in England to review every band 5 job description, but this is just the start. All nursing jobs should be reviewed or have recently undergone a review against these new profiles – no matter which band you’re on.
This is your opportunity to speak to us and highlight your concerns so you feel empowered to engage with the job evaluation process.
