The majority of the jobs in the NHS are covered by the Agenda for Change (AfC) pay scales to determine basic salary levels. There are nine pay bands and each band has a number of pay points.

Staff will usually move up to the next pay point each year until they reach the top limit of the pay band.

There is also extra pay for staff working in high cost areas such as the London area.

The Pay Scales for nursing related jobs are listed here.

The Agenda for Change pay rates as of April 2009 are listed here.

However, you should always check for payment rates with your new employer when you apply for a new post.
