The process for publishing clinical academics' salaries each year is as follows.
The Doctors’ and Dentists’ Review Body report is usually published in March each year recommending the pay rise (or not) for NHS doctors and dentists from April.
The Government then agrees (or not) with the recommendations.
NHS Employers in England and the health departments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland issue pay circulars for NHS doctors and dentists. There is sometimes a considerable delay in this for the devolved administrations.
Using the NHS pay circulars, UCEA 'translates' the relevant NHS salaries into clinical academic pay scales and consults the trade unions on the revised salaries.
UCEA circulates the salary scales by way of a UCEA Update.
HEIs determine the local implementation of salaries with effect from 1 April, backdated where necessary.
