Professorial Pay Review 2014

1 June 2016

The Vice-Chancellor, in accordance with Annex 7 of the Second Joint Report of the Council and General Board on a New Pay and Grading Structure for Non-Clinical Staff (Reporter, 6002, 2004–05, p. 745), and with the assistance of an Advisory Committee comprising Sir Graeme Davies (Chair), Professor Sir Adrian Bird (Buchanan Professor of Genetics, University of Edinburgh), Professor Dame Marilyn Strathern (Emeritus Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Cambridge), Professor Nigel Vincent (Professor Emeritus of General and Romance Linguistics, University of Manchester), Professor Sir David Wallace (Master, Churchill College) and Professor Peter Wells (Distinguished Research Professor, University of Cardiff), carried out an assessment of applications for a review of professorial pay received from eligible Professors. The Advisory Committee was assisted by School-level Committees which undertook the initial assessment of applications in Bands 1 and 2 (the membership of those Committees is noted below). Progression within and between bands is not automatic and is based on contribution, as described in Annex 7 of the Joint Report, and assessed through a biennial review process. The Vice-Chancellor has informed all applicants of the outcome of this review.

The following table summarizes the original distribution of Professorships across the Schools, and within each band, as at 1 October 2014.

School	Band 1		Band 2		Band 3		Band 4		Total
	M	F	M	F	M	F	M	F	M	F
Arts and Humanities	32	6	14	5	7	1	0	0	53	12

TOTAL	239	49	121	24	50	7	10	3	420	83
% of Total*	57%	59%	29%	29%	12%	8%	2%	4%

* Percentage in each band as a proportion of the Total column: e.g. 29% of male Professors are in Band 2; 8% of female Professors are in Band 3.

Awards

The number of awards made as a result of this exercise is shown in the table below. Where any individuals were placed in a higher band as a result of the review, the table reflects their new banding.

Stipends of the holders of clinical academic offices and payment for clinical responsibility

30 May 2016

Agreement has been reached on the salary arrangements for clinical academic staff with effect from 1 April 2016. Following a recent meeting of the Board of the Universities and Colleges Employers Association, the Clinical Academic Staff Salaries Committee has agreed to translate the award of the Doctors’ and Dentists’ Review Body into the salaries of clinical academic staff. The increase, from 1 April 2016, is one percent (1%) on the scale points for Consultants and Clinical Lecturers. In addition, those clinical academics who have reached the top of the scale on or before the 31 March 2014 will receive a non-consolidated payment of one percent (1%) with effect from 1 April 2016 and ending on 31 March 2017.

In accordance with the principle that the remuneration of clinical academic staff in Cambridge should be broadly comparable with that of equivalent staff in other UK medical schools, the General Board has agreed to approve revised stipends and scales of stipends for clinical appointments in Cambridge. In addition the General Board has agreed to approve a non-consolidated non-pensionable payment of one percent (1%) of basic salary for those clinical academics on the top point of the scale on 31 March 2014, payable in monthly instalments from 1 April 2016 until 31 March 2017.

The figures currently shown in Schedule II to the regulations for stipends (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 657) are replaced with effect from 1 April 2016, and are as follows:

For Clinical Lecturers on the equivalent of the NHS Specialist Registrar scales (pre-2009)

Clinical Lecturer £31,614 by ten increments to £54,741

For Clinical Lecturers on the equivalent of the NHS Specialty Registrar scales (post-2009)

Clinical Lecturer £32,156 by ten increments to £56,875

The offices of Clinical Sub-Dean in the Faculty of Clinical Medicine, Director and Assistant Director of Studies in General Practice are part-time and stipends are determined by local agreement, with reference to the appropriate full-time Consultant salary.

The Board has also approved the following basis for calculating rates of payment for clinical responsibility for University officers with honorary NHS contracts as Consultants:

New (2003) Consultant contract:

If the integrated job plan and the honorary Consultant contract agreed with the NHS covers not less than ten Programmed Activities a week, the annual pensionable payment for clinical responsibility will amount to the difference between the officer’s prime stipend and her or his notional place on the NHS full-time Consultant salary scale.

That scale is:

With effect from 1 April 2016: £76,001, £78,381, £80,761, £83,141, £85,514, £91,166, £96,819, £102,465.

Pre-2003 Consultant contract:

If the honorary Consultant contract agreed with the NHS covers not less than six NHS sessions a week, the annual pensionable payment for clinical responsibility will amount to the difference between the officer’s prime stipend and her or his notional place on the NHS full-time Consultant salary scale.

That scale is:

With effect from 1 April 2016: £63,102, £67,617, £72,133, £76,649, £81,798.
