This session is primarily for those with responsibility for the NHS Pension Scheme (e.g. GPs, Practice Managers).

Administering the NHS pension for officer members (e.g. non-GPs) is complex, and common errors can occur that pose consequences for members and employers. Even if your practice outsources its payroll and/or pension administration, your practice is still legally responsible for any subsequent errors.

This session will provide you with a comprehensive guide to many crucial elements of the scheme, including:

• NHS pension overview including scheme differences
• employer responsibilities (including end-of-year reporting)
• common errors
• final pay controls 
• how to stay up-to-date with changes (including those implemented from 1 April 2022) 
• technical know-how to process retirement applications 
• using the pension as a tool for staff retention
