Nursing in the European Union demonstrates how the European Union (EU) has refashioned the nursing world throughout the Member States via its power in many other policy domains. Volume 1 focused on the EU's impact on nursing education, regulation, and research endeavours. This volume focuses on real-life situations and problems EU nurses face?wages, stress, work environments, and dispute resolution?and places them in a comparative perspective.In this unique work, Sondra Z. Koff develops a profile of nurses' workplaces, highlighting similarities and diversities, challenges, and nurses' opinions. Though it has limited formal authority in the health and health care sectors, the EU has had a significant impact on the working life of these practitioners in areas such as employment options, industrial relations and their outcomes, organizational and environmental features of nurses' workplaces, collective action, and more.New policies and legalities are regulating the production, distribution, practices, and organization of nursing according to supranational standards. Koff helps to fill a gap in the literature, given the dearth of comparative, cross-national, book-length studies of the nursing profession. By adopting a framework focused on an institution, policies, and politics, Koff addresses these topics from the perspective of multiple actors, both national and international.

This is the 25th report from the NHS Pay Review Body and was conducted within the context of the public sector pay policies of the UK Government and Devolved Administrations which announced a two-year pay freeze, except for public sector workers earning £21,000 or less. The Review Body therefore recommends the following: that an uplift of £250 to Agenda for Change (AfC - which is the current NHS grading and pay system for all NHS staff, with the exception of doctors, dentists and some senior managers) spine points 1 to 15 from 1 April 2011, based on the assessment that there is no recruitment and retension evidence to justify an increase above the single uniform uplift of £250 proposed by the Health Departments; that a national recruitment and retension policy (RRP) should not be implemented for pharmacists in bands 6 and 7, although the Review Body will continue to monitor the situation; that there is no substantive evidence to support the case presented by the Union of Construction, Allied Trades and Technicians (UCATT) for a national RRP for building craft workers. The publication is divided into five chapters, with seven appendices.

The NHS Pay Review Body was originally known as the Review Body for Nurses and Allied Health Professions (NAPRB) and was set up in 1983 to advise the Government on the pay of NHS nursing staff, midwives, health visitors, and the professions allied to medicine (PAMs). Following the introduction of Agenda for Change in late 2004, the Review Body's remit was extended to cover all allied health and health care science professions, pharmacists, optometrists, applied psychologists and psychotherapists, as well as clinical support workers and technicians supporting these groups. The Body's name was changed to Review Body for Nursing and Other Health Professions. In July 2007 the Review Body's remit was again extended, firstly to cover the remaining NHS staff not within its remit but who were nevertheless paid under the Agenda for Change pay system; and secondly to include staff working in Northern Ireland. The Body's name changed again, to the NHS Pay Review Body, to reflect the broader remit. In this report the Review Body recommends a pay increase of 2.75 per cent. There is evidence of declining levels of morale within the NHS and the Review Body is concerned that declining morale would have an adverse effect both on the NHS's ability to meet service delivery targets and on its ability to recruit and retain staff in the longer term. For these reasons, it is necessary that the figure recommended for the pay award is above that sought by the Health Departments. Individual chapters cover: recruitment and retention; high cost area supplements; morale, motivation and training; funds available to the Health Departments; pay and prices; level and structure of 2008-2009 pay recommendations.

This report considers how to make pay more market-facing in local areas for NHS Agenda for Change (AfC) staff and recommends market-facing pay to support recruitment and staff retention. The AfC system is perceived as fair and objective by all parties, supports stable industrial relations, and is viewed as compliant with equal pay principles. Analysis does not provide firm evidence for further investment in additional market -facing pay in the NHS at this time and further development of AfC is needed to meet the challenges and cost pressures in the NHS. AfC is considered the appropriate vehicle through which to develop market-facing pay as it already has positive features for it. The Review Body therefore specifically recommends a fundamental review of high cost area supplements, appropriate use of local recruitment and retention premia, and regular review of AfC, including its flexibilities, with any necessary negotiations brought to a conclusion at a reasonable pace

The Review Body's remit for 2012/13 continues to be constrained by the UK Government's and Devolved Administrations' public pay sector policies. The remit is narrowed to consideration of pay recommendations for NHS Agenda for Change (AfC) staff earning £21,000 or less and any cases presented regarding high cost area supplements (HCAS) and recruitment and retention premia (RRP). An uplift of £250 is recommended for AfC staff earning £21,000 or less. The Body also comments on general workforce issues in the NHS.
