Agreement has been reached on the salary arrangements for clinical academic staff with effect from 1 April 2015. The 2014 pay arrangements for England consisted of a two-year pay deal. Following a recent meeting of the Board of the Universities and Colleges Employers Association, the Clinical Academic Staff Salaries Committee have agreed to translate the award of the Doctors' and Dentists' Review Body into the salaries of clinical academic staff. There will be no increase in salaries with the exception of those clinical academics who have reached the top of the scale, who will receive a non-consolidated payment of 1% or 2% with effect from 1 April 2015 until 31 March 2016.
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 have agreed to approve the following payments:
•For clinical academics on the top point of the scale between 1 April 2014 and 31 March 2015, a non-consolidated non-pensionable payment of 1% of basic salary payable in monthly instalments from 1 April 2015 until 31 March 2016.
•For clinical academics on the top point of the scale on or before 31 March 2014, a non-consolidated non-pensionable payment of 2% of basic salary payable in monthly instalments from 1 April 2015 until 31 March 2016.
The figures currently shown in Schedule II to the regulations for stipends (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 693) remain unchanged, with effect from 1 April 2015, and are as follows:
|
Clinical Lecturer |
£31,301 by ten increments to £54,199 |
|
Clinical Lecturer |
£31,838 by ten increments to £56,312 |
The offices of Associate 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 have also approved the following basis for calculating rates of payment for clinical responsibility for University officers with honorary NHS contracts as Consultants:
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 2015: £75,249, £77,605, £79,961, £82,318, £84,667, £90,263, £95,860, £101,451.
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 2015: £62,478, £66,948, £71,419, £75,889, £80,988.
The General Board, on the recommendation of the Faculty Board of Education, have approved a retitling of the Department as the Faculty of Education, to recognize the preferred titling now used and distinguish the Department from the government’s Department for Education. The use of the titles of Department and then School of Education were originally adopted to distinguish the Department from the former independent Cambridge Institute of Education, which was incorporated into the Department in 2001. The Board have also approved consequential changes to Ordinance to rescind the regulations for the Department of Education (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 627), and update references in other regulations, amending those that refer to the Department of Education to read Faculty of Education and those that refer to the Head of the Department of Education to read Head of the Faculty of Education. The regulations for the Centre for Commonwealth Education (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 627) have also been rescinded, following the closure of the Centre in January 2015.
