I will add more tomorrow after some sleep! Panthro 01:56, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Have reverted your edits (for now). It's nothing personal (they look like very sensible additions), but you need to make sure that before you update, you have the necessary information to hand. You can't fill the article up with xxxxs, or create headings with nothing under them - remember that whilst this is a work in progress, it's also visible and readable by the public right now. --John24601 06:35, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Aye, that was probably wise. Panthro 12:44, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A4C Salaries

Is it wise to include the actual numbers in pounds for the bands under Agenda for Change as these will need revising on a fairly regular basis - annual at least?— Rod talk 16:25, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Currently they seem to be wrong too, at least according to the RCN AfC page
  • Band 2: £12,177-£15,107
  • Band 3: £14,037-£16,799
  • Band 4: £16,405-£19,730
  • Band 5: £19,166-£24,803
  • Band 6: £22,886-£31,004
  • Band 7: £27,622-£36,416
  • Band 8a: £35,232-£42,278
  • Band 8b: £41,038-£50,733
  • Band 8c: £49,381-£60,880
  • Band 8d: £59,189-£73,281


- not including the 'transitional' pay points. kylet 11:17, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

The old table in the article did not start with the transitional points, it seemed instead to have the lower value being somewhere halfway in the band below... kylet 18:20, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I think this was 2005 figures prior to the pay review body recommendations? Anyway it is sorted now. Panthro 18:26, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Overcapitalisation

I have noticed that there is excessive use of capital letters, both in this article and nurse. I do not think that positions like registered nurse, health care assistant or similar terms should have a capital letter. If you refer to any nursing dictionary/article about nursing you will find that these terms do not have a capital letter. The only time you might use a capital is when you are using it as a title such as Nurse Jones. I would like to replace all of these capitals but as it is quite a major job I thought I would canvas opinion on it first. --Vince 10:59, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I have made a start. --Vince 08:58, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Post Reg Ed

I can't agree with the comment in the 1990s section that "Post-registration education is introduced." I was doing ENB courses etc long before then! — Rod talk 15:17, 24 July 2006 (UTC)


I think this means PREP. Panthro 00:36, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
