Definition

The NHS joint appointments field indicates if a staff member is appointed under the A + B arrangements.

Note

It should be noted that arrangements with schools of nursing should be excluded.

Institutional/NHS joint appointments, usually referred to by the term A+B appointments, are where the member of staff holds two contracts of employment: one as a part-time senior lecturer with the HE institution, and one as a part-time consultant with an NHS authority. If one contract ends, the other automatically fails. The two appointments together usually constitute full-time employment. Code 2 �NHS joint appointment (A + B appointment)� is limited therefore to members of staff holding two such contracts. The main point for the Staff Return is that such staff are part-time employees. NHS consultant appointments do not fall within the scope of the return and institutions should show only the part-time institutional appointment.

Code 1 �Not an NHS joint appointment� should be used for all other staff. This will include those members of the institution�s staff holding honorary consultant contracts. The fact that some of these appointments may be financed wholly or partly from NHS funds does not make them �joint appointments�.
