Banding for foreign nurses

Up to the employer whether previous experience counts

Hello Nurserandy. The banding depends on what trust you apply to, in my trust Newcastle hospitals, you would start on lower band 5, £21,176pa, as you a a new entrant to the NHS, but if you go to a trust that needs staff, i.e. London or south east England, you might get put on mid point band 5, £25,525pa with London weighting, (extra money for working in London about £2000 pa), and in some trusts they can provide accommodation for price.
