Providing Advice & Guidance to
General Practitioners in Kent


Dear Colleagues

If you know anyone in the NHS pension scheme who is under 55 and wants to take their retirement then please let them know they only have until the end of the financial year to obtain their retirement. From April the minimum retirement age increases from 50 to 55 for all scheme members.

Appraisal toolkit will not be available for 3 weeks. Please let the office know of any problems. PCTs have been advised and should agree to putting back your appraisal date if that is necessary.

Kind regards
