In May and November 2024, the General Board published information on the salary arrangements agreed for clinical academic staff with effect from 1 April 2023 and 1 April 2024 respectively (Reporter, 2023–24: 6741, p. 577; 2024–25: 6759, p. 115). Following a recent meeting of the Board of the Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA), UCEA’s Clinical Academic Staff Salaries Committee has agreed to translate the award of the Review Body on Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration into the salaries of clinical academic staff.
•The government will invest an average of a further 4.05% into 2023–24 pay scales for junior doctors. This means that the 2023–24 pay scales will be on average 13.2% higher than in 2022–23 – an improvement of 4.4 percentage points from the current 2023–24 pay scales.
•Uplifts will be applied to the pay scales for the 2016 and 2002 contracts as well as to local pay scales that mirror those contracts.
•The effective date for the changes is 1 April 2023.
•The government will accept the recommendations of the Review Body on Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration of a 6% uplift plus £1,000, on a consolidated basis, with an effective date of 1 April 2024.
