NHS pension statement misery time of year.
I’m 3k over my AA and I’m yet to receive my 1995 statement with a 10k rise compared to last year (nothing new in my job/pay)… hard working 100% NHS with a CD role…. madness @goldstone_tony

Wow this is complicated. Apparently all due to inflation changes in 21/22.
I estimate a 6k tax bill this year
With inflation/CPI trebled in 22/23….can’t wait until next year!

Proud that @SwanseabayNHS Ed Major ICU has contributed to this fantastic study throughout the pandemic. Well done @GenomiccStudy & @kennethbaillie.
Great teamwork in Morriston Hospital, @LukeNewey2 @rees_tabitha @harford_rachel @hilarywilary @Jilly9763 and Carl Murphy. And me.

6000 patients recruited to @GenOMICCstudy in the UK! Phenomenal achievement by research teams in 210 different ICUs. They work extremely hard, sometimes in incredibly difficult circumstances, to deepen our understanding of critical illness.

Many of you will have received one of these nasty brown envelopes from @nhs_pensions this week. If you have (and even if you haven't) you may need to take action. Pay attention and share (please RT) with colleagues who may need this!

This is worth revisiting every month or so. Once medicine determines the first divergence, the rest will be decided by whom you voted for. Good luck.

Mark Madams, @SwanseabayNHS Nurse Director, says 100 extra critical care nurses are needed at Morriston Hospital, in Swansea, to meet expected demand in the coming weeks.
He is appealing for nurses to come forward bit.ly/39Hyijt

Hugely important to ALWAYS go back 7 years and use the HMRC calculator to get the most out of carry forward
If your accountant or IFA offer to work out your AA charge with a single statement (3 carry forward years), you need a new accountant / IFA
Please share and RT!

Thanks to you just avoided paying up £2,400 that my financial advisor reckoned I owed..... went back to 12/13 rather than just to 14/15.
