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. The biggest levers are an advanced-practice MSc, a V300 non-medical prescribing qualification and demonstrable autonomous decision-making — these move an ANP from Band 7 towards 8a. Primary-care, urgent-care and emergency-department posts pay strongest. Every placement turns on a live NMC PIN, enhanced DBS, occupational-health clearance, indemnity and current mandatory training — exactly what the Verifera mark verifies and continuously re-checks.
