NMA podcast: The NHS pension crisis

Tom and Emma speak to New Model Adviser editor Will Robins about the NHS pension crisis in this 35-minute podcast, recorded last November.

We explain how Annual Allowance taper rules have generated substantial tax bills for consultants, and what the effect of that has been on the number of hours they work, and their retirement planning.
