A copy of the information is attached. Please read the below notes to ensure correct understanding of the data.  1. Any staff with any employment history with a GP are flagged as practice staff. All others are ‘Officers and Practitioners’.
2. In the event of a member claiming multiple awards, the award with the earliest payable date is assessed. 3. Last Day of Service (LDOS) is determined by looking at the termination date of the latest post prior to the award payable date. 4. ‘In Service’ is determined by the LDOS terminating within 2 days prior to the award payable date.
