Professorial and Clinical Loadings - Academic Staff
Notes on clinical loadings
These clinical loadings are effective from 3 December 2022.
Loadings payable to medically qualified staff
Payment of clinical, para-clinical or pre-clinical loadings is determined on an individual staff basis. Whether a member of staff is entitled to a full clinical, para-clinical or pre-clinical loading will be determined by the University in light of the nature and extent of the staff member's patient-care responsibilities. The individual classification will be recommended by the Dean on the advice of the Head of Department.
The University may pay loadings to its professorial staff as follows:
Full-time medically qualified staff
Medically qualified staff in clinical departments
The salary payable to academic staff with medical qualifications holding appointments at the level of lecturer and above is built up of the standard academic salary for the grade concerned plus a loading as set out below.
