Speciality and Associate Specialist (SAS) doctors

Speciality and Associate Specialist (SAS) doctors across Scotland have been offered a 6% pay rise to ensure their salaries stay competitive with other parts of the UK.

If accepted by trade unions, this offer will mean more than £7.2 million invested in their pay for 2024 to 2025.

The 6% increase will apply to all SAS doctors’ basic pay, and those on the new 2022 Specialist Contract will see a larger increase to ensure their pay is brought in line with doctors in other UK nations. The proposed increase will be backdated to April 1, 2024.
