Junior doctors' contract: four year pay deal at a glance

This document highlights the pay arrangements for junior doctors following the 2018 review of the contract.

The agreement covers the period from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2023.

A total of £90 million will be used to fund changes over and above the pay uplifts over the four-year period which include:

• weekend allowance uplift to ensure those working the most frequent weekends are remunerated more fairly.
• an enhanced rate of pay for shifts that finish after midnight and by 4am.
• a new nodal pay point 5: The parties propose that instead of senior decision maker allowance, a fifth nodal pay point will be introduced.
