The UK Department of Health announced increased salaries for NHS staff on Thursday, following months of negotiations between unions and the government.

Under the new rules, health care professionals and staff will receive a 5 percent consolidated increase in pay, backdated to April. This includes eligible employees on the Agenda for Change contract (AfC), which is the national pay system for most NHS staff except doctors, dentists, and most senior managers.
