Dear Colleagues

URGENT

Please bring to the attention of all GPs the Latest News item on Pensions. There are only 5 days left to apply for Transitional Protection for GPs whose total pension funds could exceed their Lifetime Allowance. The application forms are complex and may need professional advice to complete. 

We are still waiting for the Doctors and Dentists Review Body to report and recommend for the coming year and as soon as the report is out we will send out a further email.
