New types of jobs have emerged in the NHS which do not require profession specific interventions, but primary duties include the delivery of patient and client care. Under the NHS job evaluation scheme rules these jobs cannot be matched using occupation specific profiles and therefore must be evaluated.
The draft profiles and accompanying guidance are designed to enable matching of these jobs when appropriate.
Clinical Practitioner Specialist Final band 6
Clinical Practitioner Advanced Final band 7
Clinical practitioner roles – guidance note
The consultation on the profiles is now open and feedback is welcome from England, NI, Scotland and Wales.
Once the profiles are published they will be kept under review by JEG to ensure that they are fit for purpose and useful to local matching panels. Additional guidance will be published if deemed necessary.
If you have any comments or questions on the proposed profiles please email L.Chinnery@unison.co.uk by the deadline of 19 April.
