Market view. Band progression (5→6→7) is the main lever, with specialism (ICU, theatre, A&E) and London weighting adding further. Agency/locum nursing pays more in cash terms but sits under NHS framework rate caps; every placement requires live NMC registration, DBS, occupational-health clearance and up-to-date mandatory training — exactly what the Verifera mark verifies.
