Pandemic-related training delays and pay
BMA Scotland has reached agreement with NHS Scotland employers that junior doctors who experienced pandemic-related training delays will start on a higher pay point when becoming consultants.
The decision will reduce the financial penalty associated with the unavoidable disruption to professional development caused by COVID-19, which would otherwise have a large cumulative impact on pay and pensions.
An acknowledgement of the unprecedented pressure and disruption posed by COVID-19 on the development of doctors in training in the NHS, saw the creation of special outcomes in the UK Annual Review of Competence Progression.
Known as 10.1 and 10.2 outcomes, they seek to recognise that an individual’s ability to access sufficient or relevant training has been impeded during the pandemic, and support the trainee in either a move to the next stage in their training or receive additional training required for them to progress. This guidance should assist both trainees and employers.
The BMA can offer advice to members unsure of their position in relation to this guidance, and who need support in how these provisions are applied.
For almost 200 years, we have been supporting doctors from tuition to physician and beyond. Learn more about being a BMA member today.
