The National AfC Pay Modernisation Team

The main remit of the National Pay ModernisationTeam is to support the NHS Boards in the successful implementation of the Agenda for Change pay system through:

  • Networking/support for all Pay Modernisation Leads
  • SPRIG, HRF and Partnership working support
  • National networking facilitation support & AfC Web page support
