Extra-contractual work arrangements

The British Medical Association (BMA), agreed to withdraw its rate cards in England with immediate effect, as part of the pay deals for doctors and dentists in training, SAS, and consultants, following acceptance of each pay offer. 

As part of these deals agreed by the government, it was agreed that in instances where integrated care boards (ICBs) and other groups of employers, collaborate on arrangements to set new rates for securing extra contractual work for doctors, this should be done in consultation with employers’ joint local negotiating committees (JLNCs). 

Employers are advised to ensure that they consult with their trade union local representatives, via established JLNCs or equivalent, before publishing any new rates for extra-contractual work.
