Winter incentive agreed for additional shifts undertaken at the Trust

We are paying an incentive on shifts undertaken via NHS Professionals at the Trust.

The incentive will begin from 13 December and will be reviewed at the end of each month throughout winter, with a decision made as to whether it will continue (approval will be largely dependent on activity levels and associated pressures).

Rates which will be offered are as follows – these have been benchmarked against our partners in the region and are reflective of the pressures at DBTH:

  • Shifts undertaken by midwives – Hourly rate adjustment in-line with other South Yorkshire acute trusts affected by service critical vacancy and winter pressures.
  • Peadiatric speciality shifts undertaken across inpatient wards and the Emergency Department for band two to six – Pay to Grade with a 20% uplift.
  • Shifts undertaken in adult wards, theatres, recovery and the Emergency Department for band two to six – Pay to Grade with a 20% uplift.
  • Shifts that are allocated on arrival (known as pool shifts) for bands two and five – Top of Band plus a 30% uplift.
