NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Lead Employer
NHS Scotland has 4 lead employers for doctors and dentists in training:
- NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde: West Region
- NHS Lothian: East Region
- NHS Grampian: North Region
- NHS Education for Scotland: GP Training and National Programmes.
NES is the Lead Employer for all GP and National Programme trainees with the 3 other Lead Employers covering the other specialties and foundation trainees on a regional basis.
The other Boards continue to host trainees on placement as part of the training programme, they are known as ‘Placement Boards’. Whilst the Employing Boards have employment responsibilities, the Placement Boards continue to have clinical governance responsibility and operational management for those engaged in providing clinical care to Placement Board patients. The Lead Employer model has been developed in partnership with the British Medical Association.
To support this work the Turas platform has been extended to include Turas People, an application that now assists medical staffing/ HR colleagues in employment related workflows, facilitating the provision of information between trainees, Placement Boards and Employing Boards, reducing duplication across systems and assisting in ensuring that the trainees get paid accurately.
We hope these changes have improved the Doctors and Dentists in Training employment journey as follows:
- Less employment related administration and duplication of information provided
- A single contract of employment for the duration of a programme
- Reduced tax issues
- Continuous service with one employer making it easier for you to access employee benefits
- Clearer employment arrangements for money lenders (e.g. mortgages, cars and credit rating).
Dental Trainees
In December 2021 all Dentists in Specialty Training transferred to NHS Education for Scotland (NES) employment. This move seeks to align the contract of employment to a National Board, provide consistency in business processes, and as a result improve the dental trainee employment journey.
This transfer has been agreed in partnership and consultation taken place with current Employing Boards and the British Dental Association.
Terms and Conditions
For terms and conditions for junior doctors and dentists please visit the MSG Website.
Standing Operating Procedures
Placement Boards deliver employment related activity on behalf of the Employing Boards, these can be found in the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
