Life after Whitley and the implications of Agenda for Change

A Workshop for Practice Managers and GPs

Objectives:

The objectives of this Workshop are to:

> Explain the main aspects of the “Agenda for Change” process being implemented throughout the NHS.

> Discuss the implications for General Practice.

> Examine the pros and cons of different types of pay systems, including bonus payments.

> Work through a case-study of a GP practice and apply the job evaluation process used under the “Agenda for Change” scheme.

> Discuss staffing structures, job design, personal specifications, workload, competencies and the job market.

> Explore the legal implications of changing job content or terms and conditions.

> Identify other benefits available to reward and motivate staff.


At the end of the Workshop, delegates will have gained a comprehensive understanding of the changes being implemented in the NHS and the repercussions for General Practice.

They will have participated in a number of exercises to share experiences and ideas with colleagues. They will have worked through a case-study and a job evaluation process and will have considered the implications for the practice.

They will have examined how to create or change a staffing structure for the practice, including the legal implications of changing pay and terms of employment.

They will have all the information needed to consider the options which are available for their own practice’s staff pay and benefits.
