NHS Pension Advice

Lyz

I’m considering taking early retirement from the NHS.  Are there any specialist financial advisers who deal specifically with the NHS Pension that I can seek advice from.  I spoke to a financial adviser recently who didn’t seem to know much about the NHS Pension Scheme.

If you are a member of any medical organisation, e.g. BMA, RCN, etc. check with them first to see if they can give you the advice you need, or have a relationship with any financial advisers.

Make sure you have searched for the information you need using Google - the NHS is such a big employer that most questions have been asked and answered before, so Google your question and then ask here if you can't find the answers.

Might depend on the specific line of work you are in but I use the company LLoyd and Whyte who do retirement planning and investment advice for healthcare professionals.

If you are a member of the RCN you are entitled to a complimentary, no obligation financial review from Lighthouse Financial Advice. https://www.lighthousefinancialsolutions.co.uk/affinity/royal-college-of-nursing/

it does tend to be specialist advisors often via the unions - I used the BMA but they were a bit snowed under as so many queries.  
There is a fair bit about early retirement and actuarial reduction on the NHSBSA site and you should be able to get an estimate from them for a specific age / date of leaving 

I left the scheme and  continued working and then took the pension but  that was normal age
