Podcast – Paul Gordon & James Gransby – Making Sense of Changes in NHS Pension Schemes

The General Practice Podcast

Join Ben as he brings together pensions expert Paul Gordon and accountant James Gransby to explore the recent changes in NHS pensions. They discuss the aftermath of the age discrimination case and its consequences following the government's loss, which has resulted in revised pension statements for many NHS members.

The discussion delves into the complexities of NHS pension figures and annual allowance returns, highlighting the challenges faced by both individuals and practices. They emphasise the importance of using medical specialist accountants to ensure accuracy in submissions.

Join Paul and James for this dynamic discussion and how to prepare yourself with the knowledge to tackle these pension challenges, and those dreaded brown envelopes, with confidence.

To join the session Paul & James are running at 8am on the 31st October, the invite can be accessed here.
