Fair pay for nurses: are you being paid what your role is worth?
Updated NHS nursing job profiles for Agenda for Change bands 4-9 have been published following a campaign for reform and better recognition of nurses’ roles and skills. The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Fair Pay for Nursing campaign has long argued for pay reform in nursing, including updated job profiles and banding that better reflects the complexity of modern nursing. The changes mean some nurses could have their roles re-evaluated, with the potential to gain thousands of pounds in back pay. We look at the how the new profiles aim to guide fairer banding and pay, with clearer progression from band 5 to 6, plus what to do if you think your role should be re-banded.
