How this figure was built. No live advertised salaries back this figure yet — it is the midpoint of our curated 2026 baseline range for the role and region.

Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them — they are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. Pay tracks specialty depth: a recognised post-registration specialist qualification, a caseload-holding autonomous role and (increasingly) non-medical prescribing lift a CNS towards the top of Band 7. Demand is concentrated in a handful of high-acuity specialties and outstrips supply. Every placement turns on a live NMC PIN, enhanced DBS, occupational-health clearance and current mandatory training — we check each of these before placement.
