NHS Pension Scheme membership for GP Locum Medical Practitioners
Introduction
Following the setting up of Health Authority/Primary Care Trust (HA/PCT) Supplementary Lists in England, Pension Scheme Regulations became effective on 5 April 2002, which opened the Scheme to freelance locum practitioners.
Similar legislation has been passed in Scotland and Wales.
Now with effect from 1 April 2003 GP's who are already NHS Pension Scheme members will be able to "pension" their GP locum earnings backdated (if they wish) for NHS locum work undertaken since 1 April 2002. GP's who wish to pension their locum earnings should follow the instructions at point 5 below.
