Don't let your pay slip away
The 2026/27 circular moved pay to ten nodal points, exam fees became employer-reimbursed, and exception reporting changed in February. Every transition is a place for payroll to get you wrong. Share your work schedule and payslips. We check every line against the circular.

Where doctors lose money
Ten nodal points since April 2026. Rotations are exactly when payroll picks the wrong one, and each new job copies the last wrong salary.
Worked 1-in-5 but paid as 1-in-8? That's a £1,661 a year gap on one line. We read your true frequency from the rota itself.
Every eligible night hour attracts a 37% uplift on hourly basic pay. Averaged rotas routinely miscount the eligible hours.
Breach penalty rates are owed to you personally, on top of the fine your department pays. Since the February 2026 reform: self-declaration up to 2 hours, pay-or-TOIL your choice, 28-day window.
Mandatory college exams sat since 1 April 2026: first two attempts reimbursed in full by your employer. Sat them earlier? Tax relief still applies, four years back.
GMC, college and BMA fees plus pre-2026 exams: the typical first claim for a doctor who has never claimed. Arithmetic below.
Show the working
Take an ST3 who pays their own fees, is a 40% taxpayer, sat MRCP before April 2026, and has never claimed. HMRC lets you claim the current year plus four back, and the oldest year expires on 5 April 2027.
| Item | Annual fee | Refund/yr @40% |
|---|---|---|
| GMC retention fee | £481 | £192.40 |
| RCP collegiate trainee subscription | £161 | £64.40 |
| BMA (Y5–7, relief capped at 85%) | £383 | £130.23 |
| Indemnity (typical self-paid) | ~£250 | ~£100.00 |
| × 4 back years | £1,948 | |
| MRCP Part 1 + Part 2 + PACES (pre-Apr-2026 sittings) | £1,720 | £688 |
| Typical first claim | ≈ £2,636 |
Computed from published 2026 fees at the 40% rate; back-year fees were slightly lower, so your exact figure is personal: that's what the audit is for. You file in your own name; we prepare every number and form.
The rotation trap
Every rotation is a fresh payroll onboarding by people who've never seen your history, and each new employer copies the last one's numbers. The BMA documented £8,000 recovered after six years on the wrong pay point; the fix took a year and 200 emails. Our audit sweeps four years and every employer in one pass, and the monthly watch means the next rotation can't restart the clock.
