When NHS Contract Details is coded as “2 Separate HEI & NHS contracts” then the FTE of the appointment must be less than 1.

Some individuals have separate paid contracts with both the University of Oxford and an NHS employer (often called A+B contracts). These contracts should be coded “2 Separate higher education provider and NHS contracts”. Therefore, they are part-time contracts with the University.

• The two separate contracts together constitute employment in a single job agreed by two employers
• Individuals coded as “2 Separate HEI & NHS contracts” in Core therefore cannot be full-time with an FTE of 1 on Core Personnel
