Now available: ACPOHE's Pay and Grading Guidance 2023-2024
The CSP continues to advise ACPOHE that the biggest influencer on pay and grading changes, both for physiotherapists working in the NHS and for private organisations, needs to come from the Agenda for Change.
With industrial action, and in some cases, negotiations continuing to take place, this has delayed ACPOHE's guidance. Therefore, the following guidance is based on CSP guidance on where pay awards are at this time.
Our Pay and Grading Guidance 2023-2024 document is now available - click on the link below.
