1 Pension reform is required because people are living longer. 2  Today, a 60-year-old doctor retiring can expect to enjoy 29 years of retirement. 3  This means drawing a pension for almost the same time as they worked for the NHS - 36 years. Compare this with a newly qualified doctor joining the reformed scheme after 2015. 2  He can expect a pension of over Â£53,000 at age 65 (the normal pension age for new joiners) or a pension of around Â£68,000 a year at his state pension age of 68.
Depending on your year of birth, you will be eligible to retire at age 55-57 with 30 years service (or 10 years service with a reduced annuity); or age 60 with 20 years service; or age 62 with 5 years service.
