This is a way to build up a separate retirement fund in addition to your main NHS Pension Scheme benefits.
The NHS Stakeholder Pension benefits are additional separate pension benefits to increase your total pension income. You can do this instead of, or alongside, other top-up arrangements.
You can only contribute to an NHS Stakeholder Pension if you're an active member of the NHS Pension Scheme.
We cannot guarantee the amount of pension an NHS Stakeholder Pension will provide. This is because contributions are invested with an external pension provider and are not paid into the NHS Pension Scheme.
Standard Life provides stakeholder pensions for the NHS. You can contact Standard Life for more information.
