Enhancing shared parental leave |
The SPL (shared parental leave) scheme allows parents and adopters more flexibility in how they care for their child during the first year after birth/adoption. Currently the salaried GP contract only allows for enhanced maternity and paternity leave and statutory SPL. Maternity leave and pay in the salaried GP model contract is linked to the provisions of section six of the GWC handbook, rather than the NHS terms and conditions handbook. As such, salaried GPs employed under the model contract are still only entitled to the statutory SPL provisions. The provision for GP contractors will be whatever is set out in their partnership agreements.
GPC England is looking at how enhanced SPL could be provided under the contract. We need to understand the financial impact it will have on practices, if any, in moving from statutory to enhanced SPL, as well as from enhanced maternity/paternity to enhanced SPL. Email info.gpc@bma.org.uk with examples of practices that have introduced enhanced SPL/pay and its impact. All information shared is confidential and will help us make the case for enhancement to NHS England. |

Paper wrapping is a viable option for The BMJ for the first time. We began trialling it on 9 November 2019 for copies reaching nearly 80,000 hospital doctor readers, which will mean over 3.6m fewer single-use plastic wrappers over the next year. For the remaining 40,000 copies each week, we are trialling a carbon-neutral poly derived from sugar cane waste. We expect to use paper wrapping for all copies within a year. Read more > |
