Life
after Whitley and the implications of Agenda for Change
A
workshop for Practice Managers and GPs
The NHS Whitley Council scales will not be republished after 2006.
Practices which have been using the Whitley scales now face a dilemma
of exactly what to do in order to determine fair salaries and other
benefits for their staff, particularly as they can be in competition
with NHS employers (whose staff are now all on Agenda for Change terms),
or even other practices, for recruiting and retaining staff.
Practices
do not legally have to participate in Agenda for Change, and with
an estimated increase in the salaries budget of 16% and upwards over
the next three years, as well as considerable increases in other benefits,
it is no wonder that many are reluctant to embrace the new system.
To
consider the options and help practices make informed choices, this
one-day workshop will:
- Provide
an overview of Agenda for Change
- Consider
staffing structures within a practice
-
Look at the alternative options for salary systems from 2006
- Demonstrate
a straight forward job evaluation system designed for use in your
own practice
- Discuss
special circumstances, such as protection of salary
- Review
other benefits, such as annual leave, flexible hours, sick-pay schemes
The
workshop has been developed, and is presented by, Patricia Gray. Patricia
is an HR specialist and Management Consultant who has eleven years
experience as a Practice Business Manager/Partner and now works as
a management adviser, trainer and facilitator in general practice.
