Agenda for change

1 April 2020

This page contains the figures for the NHS Terms and Conditions of Service (Agenda for Change) pay and allowances from 1 April 2020, broken down into hourly rates.

The table below shows the values of the NHS Terms and Conditions of Service (Agenda for Change) hourly pay from 1 April 2020. All efforts have been made to ensure these rates match those contained in the ESR system, but hourly figures are shown for illustrative purposes only. Full details of pay arrangements are available in the NHS terms and conditions of service handbook.

Spine points are no longer used since the 2018 changes to the NHS terms and conditions of service, but for ease of reference the table below contains the previous spine point that corresponds to the new pay structure value.

* Does not include the one off consolidated payment. Please refer to annex 2 table 10b for further information.
