Unite Community Practitioners' & Health Visitors' Association (CPHVA)

At last week's CPHVA Conference in Bristol Unite national officer, Richard Munn launched a new factsheet on Specialist Community Public Health Nurses (including health visitors and school nurses), and their Agenda for Change banding.

This new factsheet, alongside a number of other resources can be accessed on our website: https://www.unitetheunion.org/scphnpaycampaign

We have already carried out 3 virtual member meetings to discuss the recent NMC and JEG changes and how our SCPHN members should respond to ensure that they are being appropriately paid for the work that they do.

We have 2 further meetings planned on:
- 11/11/2025 @ 17:00-18:00
- 12/11/2025 @ 12:00-13:00

If you've not received the member invite via email already, email [email protected], provide your membership number and ask for the meeting link.

We are also happy to attend local branch meetings to discuss this issue. Please get in touch to discuss.
