The new NHS Pension Scheme came into effect on 1 April across the UK. NHS staff will have received a reminder leaflet with their payslips in February with details of the new scheme.
NHS trade unions have provided input into a series of videos on the new scheme produced by NHS Pensions, alongside the Department of Health and NHS Employers.
Please promote these videos among fellow UNISON members working in the NHS in England and Wales.
A guide to the new 2015 scheme guide is also now available for download from the homepage of the NHS Pensions website.
The UNISON NHS pension web pages have been updated and includes a UNISON PowerPoint presentation on the new scheme.
