Job evaluation roadshow: Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust
20 Oct 2026, 10:00 - 21 Oct, 16:00
Choose event information:
Do you work at Northampton General Hospital? We'll be there from 10am - 4pm on 20 & 21 October 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 Northampton General Hospital to talk to you about all this and more. We'll be walking the wards so you can speak to us and ask us about what you can be doing now and what to expect, as well as handing out information and resources.
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.

Who will I be able to speak to?
During our visits, in addition to our staff and representatives, you'll be able to meet the pay delivery officer for your region.
East Midlands Pay Delivery Officer Katie Pegg
Katie brings a wealth of experience, having worked for more than 20 years within healthcare.
She has worked as a staff nurse in a variety of areas including healthcare of the elderly, rehab and neurology and, more recently, as a clinical educator. Throughout her career, she's cared for and supported individuals and teams through teaching, guidance, and practical, patient-centred learning.
Katie continues to work as an educator one day per week, which allows her to stay connected to what’s happening in the NHS and to bring current, real-world insight to every conversation.
Before qualifying as a staff nurse, Katie was fortunate to have travelled extensively, living abroad for many years and gaining experiences that have broadened her knowledge and deepened her understanding of people and their cultures. These journeys have shaped the person she is today.
Katie said: "I believe I’m an advocate for everyone I meet, bringing empathy, respect, and an open mind to all. Please come and have a chat if you see me on the roadshows.
"I’m looking forward to meeting you all, whether we're sharing ideas, or discussing how we can improve care together."
