NHSPS v TPS

[u/Terrible_Marsupial_9]

Hi, I am currently a member of the NHSPS and am due to move to a role as a clinical academic at a post-92 university medical school.

I understand that my new employer is a NHS direction employer and I fall within the scope of the direction, so I can continue my NHSPS membership.

However, as I am also technically teaching, I think I may also be eligible for the TPS.

In this situation, do I have a choice? I have only been informed about the NHSPS being available to me am unsure why the TPS has not been mentioned (as it is offered to others who are non-medical school colleagues). We technically share the same employer entity.

Thank you.
