Should you opt out of NHS pensions in 2026?

The NHS pension is often described as “gold-plated” — yet most NHS staff don’t fully understand how it actually works. That lack of understanding can quietly lead to costly decisions, including opting out for the wrong reasons.

In this video, I break down the NHS pension scheme clearly and simply, explaining the 1995, 2008, and 2015 schemes, how benefits are built up, what they’re really worth, and what you could be giving up if you opt out. A lack of clarity here can lead to expensive mistakes around retirement planning, additional pension purchases, or even decisions to leave the NHS.

If you work in the NHS and want clarity on how your pension actually works, whether opting out makes sense, how much you and your employer contribute, why the scheme is so tax-efficient, and how to boost your NHS pension contribution, this video is for you.

I explain the system using practical examples to show how the NHS pension works in real life - not just in theory.

We also look at what happens if you leave the NHS, move abroad, retire early or pass away, and how benefits differ depending on which scheme you're in. Make sure to watch till the end for valuable insights.

📌 We cover:
• How the 1995, 2008, and 2015 NHS pension schemes actually work
• The key differences between final salary and CARE schemes
• How NHS pension benefits are built up and revalued

• How to boost your NHS pension benefits

This video reflects the rules as they stand in 2026, to help you make informed decisions about your NHS pensions — whether you’re early in your career or approaching retirement.
