GP practice nurses are employed directly by self-employed GPs, rather than the NHS.<\/p><p>The pressure on NHS Pension Scheme costs, which are met mutually across all members and their employers, meant that practice nurses could not be offered retrospective membership for employment before 1997. This was accepted by staff representatives at the time of the agreement, and remains the current position.<\/p><p>However, GP practice nurses and their employers can make voluntary extra contributions to purchase units of \u2018Additional Pension\u2019 and so boost their NHS retirement pensions.<\/p>"}
