On 1 July 2024, NHS England strengthened its commitment to supporting employees already working for the NHS who wish to embark upon an apprenticeship to aide career development.

To ensure these staff do not experience a detriment to their basic pay, the salary for duration of the apprenticeship will be consistent with their current pay or the rate paid to other apprentices, whichever is higher (subject to eligibility criteria)

This change supports exiting NHS employees to undertake a formal apprenticeship programme which, upon completion, would qualify them for a role where the evaluated pay band is the same or higher than the band of their current post.
