Band 5 role reviews: 'I expect majority of nurses to go through'

Nursing staff have seen two major announcements in the past week – a 3.3% pay award for NHS nurses in England and Wales and band 5 role reviews for all nurses in England.

In this week’s episode of the Nursing Standard podcast, RCN general secretary Nicola Ranger talks all things pay, including her message to nursing staff who are calling for demonstrable action by the union on below-inflation pay awards.

In conversation with RCNi senior journalist Shruti Sheth Trivedi she also hints at whether employer-led role reviews are forthcoming for nurses on bands other than 5, and discusses time frames and criteria for the reviews and any resulting salary uplifts.
