Agenda for Change - Review of experience in the early implementer sites

The Agenda for Change pay system began to be implemented in twelve NHS organisations in England in June 2003. The new pay system has also been subject to testing short of full implementation in four pilot sites in Scotland. Over the last year, the experience of these early implementer (EI) sites and the Scottish pilot sites' paper exercise has been monitored by the UK Health Departments, NHS Trades Unions and managers.
