Intro to Pensions

Your NHS Pension is one of your most valuable benefits — but also one of the most complicated.

Most doctors and healthcare professionals are left wondering: 

When can I retire? 

How much will I actually get? 

Am I saving enough elsewhere?

Will I be hit with a massive Annual Allowance tax bill?

Our Intro to Pensions is designed specifically for NHS professionals. Using specialist tools and our deep expertise in NHS pensions, we build a personalised financial forecast that answers these questions and more — giving you clarity, confidence, and control over your future.


What the Session Involves

Discovery (15-20 mins) – We discuss your role, pension history, and wider financial goals.

Your NHS Pension (60 mins) – We explain your scheme membership (1995/2008/2015), calculate projected benefits, and review options such as early retirement, lump sums, and flexible retirement.

Cashflow Forecast (60 mins) – We input your NHS Pension benefits, other income, assets, and expenditure into our software to map your finances year by year.

Scenario Testing (60 mins) – Together, we explore “what if” questions:

- Whether you should build other assets around the NHS pension scheme

- What sort of investment returns are needed to create the desired future income

- Whether you are investing and saving enough

- How much you can expect from the NHS Pension Scheme

- Whether you should consider making additional pension contributions

Next Steps (15 mins) – We summarise your position and set out a clear roadmap for your retirement planning.

Total time: around 180-240 minutes online

What You’ll Walk Away With

  • Clarity on your NHS Pension options: retirement age, lump sums, early retirement reduction factors, flexible retirement choices.

  • Guidance on increasing benefits: whether extra contributions, AVCs, or investing elsewhere makes sense for you.

  • Understanding of tax allowances: how the annual allowance works, what paperwork to expect, and how to avoid or manage charges.

  • Diversification strategies: how to build wealth outside the scheme to balance flexibility with security.

  • Target income planning: a realistic picture of what level of income you should aim for in retirement.

  • Confidence: the ability to make life decisions — reducing hours, changing role, or retiring earlier — backed by evidence, not guesswork.

  • Peace of mind: knowing your family’s financial security is protected if circumstances change.

Why This Matters

Your pension is the foundation of your retirement, but it’s only one part of the picture. By combining specialist NHS Pension guidance with sophisticated cashflow planning, you’ll see your entire financial life on one page. You’ll know what’s possible, what’s sustainable, and what needs adjusting.
