Help with using this site

How do I use this website?

While the website has undergone a remake, we have tried to retain the navigation structure. However, some menu items have moved and the large expandable menu has been removed.

You should continue to navigate the site using the menu bar at the top of each page. Menu items from the expandable menu have been moved as follows:

  • Financial – Now on main menu bar
  • Help – Now on main menu bar
  • E-Mails – Moved to top of page
  • Facebook groups – Moved to page footer
  • Social Media – At top of page displayed as icons
  • Other items were duplicated and should be found in the main menu

If you are taken to an external page then it will usually open in a new window but there may be occasions when you need to press the Back button on your browser to return to our site.

Some pages may also have another menu in the right hand column with additional links usually to external web sites that are relevant to the page. We have tried to break down the pages into relevant sections for ease of navigation.
There is lots of information contained throughout the site and the best thing to do is explore all the pages. You can try searching for what you want using our search engine, that will search this website.

Where is the search? Now located next to the main menu. Click on the search icon to reveal the search box

Agenda for Change

Agenda for Change is the name given to the new national NHS pay and terms and conditions system. This pay system was introduced from October 2004 and its aim was to introduce new pay bands and harmonised terms and conditions for NHS workers. The system has been negotiated by the health departments and the national joint staff side unions.
A UNISON ballot on Agenda for Change voted overwhelmingly to accept the proposals.

Station Reps

This website has a resource page for your benefit called Stewards Zone where you will find copies of the Disciplinary & Grievance procedure and other policies plus branch minutes, claim forms, e-mail applications and links to UNISON resources and a load more.

Carry the Card

Do you carry your UNISON membership card? Do you even know where it is? Well it might be worth digging it out as a host of new benefits becomes available when you show your membership card. If you have lost your card and need a new one, you can apply for a new card online by clicking here.

Where are you?

Did you know that if you move station the service doesn’t tell us? If you haven’t told us either then we don’t know where you are. If you joined at training school then that may be the last place we knew. The same goes for when you move house. You need to let us know. It is vital we have your up to date details. To make it easy for you, you can update your details online right now by clicking here.
