Support Service

Membership at this level of service will ensure you receive adequate guidance to help with the daily/monthly and annual increasing complexities of the NHS Pension Scheme. Subscription to this service entitles you to:

Telephone Help Desk, Email Helpline, Pensions in Practice newsletters and Staff Newsletters

We will even go that ‘extra mile’ and help provide/check pay calculations as and when they are required at varying pension events, i.e. Retirements, Death in Service and Divorce cases. The newsletters are aimed at making both Management & Staff aware of ongoing important changes to the NHS Pension Scheme.

Payroll Service

Introduced in 2002 and incorporating both the full Payroll and Pensions function, this has developed into our most comprehensive package to date. Offering a full BACS approved Payroll Bureau and NHS Pension Scheme service; we ensure full compliance with ever changing HMRC and NHS Pension Scheme Regulations.

Specialising in GP Practice payrolls, this level of service has gone from strength to strength since its introduction and we have in excess of 500 Practices using this service. Our experienced and friendly staff, many from an NHS background, will ensure you receive a first class service, which is unique to this market sector.

Pension Administration Service

With the launch of the NHS Pension Scheme Employer’s Charter in February 2012 and the increasing complexities of NHS Pension Scheme administration, this service will ensure that your obligations under the Charter are fulfilled. Not only are all aspects of Pension Scheme administration taken care of, but both you and your staff have direct access to an assigned pension contact at Fairway Training Limited, who will be able to answer questions and ensure that your pension records are maintained to a high standard. Please note that we are an approved third party user of NHS Net enabling us to utilise Pensions Online, thus making your NHS Pension Administration virtually ‘hassle free’.

Training

Since the introduction of the NHS Pension Scheme to GP Staff in September 1997, Fairway Training Limited has provided training (often bespoke) across the UK to many Practice Managers and those responsible for the administration of the scheme. All of our courses are designed to ensure those attending leave with sufficient knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions when returning to their workplace.

There are a variety of courses on offer, including:

  • NHS Pensions - The Essentials (Full One Day Course)
  • Getting the most out of Pensions Online (1/2 Day Course)
  • Staff Presentation (2½ Hours)
  • Update Presentation (1/2 Day Course)

On every occasion that I have needed to contact Fairway Training I have had a superb service. They could not be more helpful or polite. Each person at the company responding to me has put themselves over and above to help. I have had two employees retire over the last year or so and on both occasions they have seamlessly taken my figures, come up with all the answers for my AW8s and helped throughout the whole process. I honestly wouldn't cope without them. Thank you so much.

Could not recommend them more. After two disappointing providers who made payroll a stressful experience, we made the best decision ever by switching to Fairway. The services provided by Dan Bott are spot on. Quick replies and no doubt that his advice is correct. Glad to be with such a trustworthy professional organisation.

As this was the first time I have dealt with a retiring member of staff I was really cautious and did not have a clue on what I needed to do. Like most Practice Managers we are given very little training and are just expected to pick up how to complete these complex and important tasks as we go along.

I contacted Fairway and got a call back from Steve. All through our conversation I was reassured and not made to feel incompetent, (I certainly felt it at the start of the call) but Steve was so reassuring and did not mind any questions I asked. He talked me through my staff members pension and what actions I needed to do. He even remote logged in and showed me where I could find the information. After the call I feel as if I have a greater understanding of the process which has boosted my confidence.

This is not the first time I have used Fairway for advice and on each and every occasion I have had excellent support and help. I am so pleased we use your services and long may it continue.

Also before outsourcing I was the only person in the practice who was up to date on payroll so this ticks a box on my CQC recovery plan etc Thanks Fairway & Hannah

Excellent service, highly recommended.

Contracting Fairway to undertake our payroll has not only ensured that we have trained professionals dedicated to manage this specialist area, it has also freed up my time which can now be attributed to other tasks. It was one of the best decisions that I ever made - particularly so as there have been many changes of late which I am aware of but do not need to worry about - knowing that all is safe in the hands of our excellent personal payroll administrator.

We have used Fairway Training for help and advice with NHS pensions for many years. I can not praise them highly enough for the service we have received. I would recommend them to anyone without a moment's hesitation. A special thank you to Stephen who was patience itself today!

I have used Fairway Training for my payroll for a number of years and have found Marie to be the most efficient, knowledgeable contact I have. Nothing is too much trouble no matter what. She has also helped me avoid a few mistakes along the way. I cant speak more highly of both her and Fairway.

Outsourcing payroll has been one of the best things we’ve done – makes my life so much easier, and has reduced the dependency on me significantly – can’t think why we didn’t do this sooner. I keep telling my practice manager colleagues about it, and I know that at least one of them is on your waiting list!

Attended a Pension Scheme Changes 2015 presentation run by Steve Partridge. Excellent easy to understand presentation covering all areas. The audience was very mixed from cleaners to GPs and the information pitched perfectly with time for questions. Who ever would have thought 2 hours of Pensions information would fly be so quickly and be so enjoyable!

I attended the "All you need to know about NHS Pensions - The Essentials" that was facilitated by Steve on the 3rd December. I am new to Practice Management so wasnt aware of what I needed to do regarding new starters/leavers and also of what changes would be coming in 2015.

Steve was fantastic and explained everything in very understandable plain english! If I had been told I would have enjoyed a pensions course, I wouldnt have believed it...but I did. I feel so more confident now in what I have to do and if I get stuck, where to go. Thanks Steve for a very enjoyable day.

I have used Fairway for a number of years for numerous pension queries and have always found them to be extremely helpful and friendly. Very easy to access both via telephone and e-mail. I have managed to strike up a really good relationship with Linda over the years nd it was a pleasure to meet her earlier this year face to face at a seminar.

Over the past few days I have dealt with Stephen and Dan whilst dealing with an AW8 and have found their help second to none - thank you all for the outstanding service you provide.

Linda came to my Surgery last week to give me some one to one training on Pension as I have just started the role of Practice Manager at Wargrave. Wow so much to take in but Linda was an excellent trainer, she constantly checked that I understood what she was explaining to me and she pitched the presentation at the right level and pace that made it easier for me to take it all in. Thank you Linda.

I attended the NHS Pension The Essentials Course run by Linda this week. I can honestly say that it was full of very useful information. Presented in a very easy and relaxed environment where you could ask questions as and when. Linda's knowledge was second to none and she explained things in simple language which everyone could understand. I would definitely recommend this course and I have been processing Payroll and Pensions for our surgery for nine years!! Thank you just another excellent course from Fairway!

I attended a full day pension training course in November 2014. This was the first training i had ever been given on pension training. It is ok to be able to read up about it on numerous documents and even website information, but to have actual training on it was a real bonus. Myself and i can say other practice managers were not aware of all the pension information and requirements needed before this training. I can now say that I am much more confident in being able to deal with the pension system and can only thank Fairway for the excellent training given that day. I feel that this sort of training should be rolled out in other sectors of practice management work. E-learning does not have the same delivery impact.

I would rate this company 10/10 for the help and assistance they have given me in administering the pension scheme. Particularly recently when I have required help with my own pension. They are so helpful and supportive and not at all judgmental of those that struggle to understand all the technical jargon associated with the NHS pension. I am so grateful that we are a member of their support service PS. Thanks particularly to Debbie for her patience and number crunching wizardry.

I highly recommend them to any GP practice for Pension administration - (sadly I'm on waiting list for Payroll as they're so in demand so I can't comment on that aspect, but I'm hoping it's as good as the Pension department!)

I have been using Fairway Training for a long time and find their support valuable to me as a Practice Manager. When you no longer carry out the payment and processing of payoll you rely on the service more, and there hasn't been a time when I have worried about it.

At one point I could feel that Fairway was at the in-between stage of expanding, and now they've moved in to larger premises they have boldly taken that next step. I wish them all the best.
I wouldn't use another firm to handle the payroll arrangements of any Practice I worked for.
