Boilerhouse delivers with NHS Pension Scheme 2008

Boilerhouse has been working with NHS Pensions since February 2007 communicating major changes to the NHS Pension Scheme effective 1 April 2008. Boilerhouse was responsible for the communications strategy and plan, plus its delivery to the Scheme’s 1.3 million active members, 600,000 pensioners and 400,000 ‘deferred’ members, as well as 10,000 NHS employers (including GP Practices), NHS staff not in the pension scheme, trades unions, and the media.

Boilerhouse wrote and designed all the materials for NHS members, employers and others directly affected. This included 2 million NHS payslip inserts plus numerous factsheets, downloadable employers' guides, staged web sites, plus payroll and pension officer events.

Stakeholder communications activity was undertaken with email announcements along with briefings and materials development for NHS employers, Trades Unions, NHS internal networks, and the media. An advertising campaign was developed for the NHS trade and professional press along with poster use in the various working environments.
