Agreement has been reached on the salary arrangements for clinical academic staff with effect from 1 April 2017. 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 2017, is one percent (1%) on the scale points for NHS Consultants and Clinical Lecturers. Non-consolidated payments awarded under the 2016 pay award ceased at March 2017. In addition, a new scale for Clinical Lecturers commencing training from 1 August 2017 has been agreed.
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.
The figures currently shown in Schedule II to the regulations for stipends (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 669) are replaced with effect from 1 April 2017, and are as follows:
The addition of a new scale to Schedule II to the regulations for stipends
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:
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 2017: £76,761, £79,165, £81,568, £83,972, £86,369,
£92,078, £97,787, £103,490.
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 2017: £63,733, £68,293, £72,855, £77,415, £82,616.
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.
Members of the University are invited to contribute to a review of the Office of Scholarly Communication (OSC) within the University (see http://osc.cam.ac.uk for more information on the OSC). The review will be conducted by a panel representative of OSC service users within the University, with appropriate external representation. The terms of reference for the review are available on request from the Secretary (Isobel Humphrey, of the Academic Division).
The outcome and recommendations of the review will assist the University in ensuring that the OSC is well placed to meet the needs and expectations of researchers, and of the University’s funders. Respondents are asked to consider the support needed for researchers in managing the open research agenda, and to reflect on the following broad questions:
(i)Could the University’s support for open research be improved? If so, how?
(ii)Are there any examples of good practice that might be of interest to the review panel?
Responses can be provided by email to the Secretary (OSC-Consultation@admin.cam.ac.uk) by close of business on Friday, 16 June 2017.
The University Combination Room will be closed from 12 noon on Wednesday, 31 May 2017 to assist with events being held in the Senate-House. The Combination Room will re-open at 10 a.m. on Thursday, 1 June 2017.
