Get the Free Money Accounts Framework Every NHS Colleague Wishes They'd Had Sooner
Built from 16 years of figuring this out myself, and years of coaching NHS staff through Medical Finance Academy — from Band 3s just starting out to consultants who'd been putting it off for a decade.
A free, plain-English walkthrough of every account you'll meet as NHS staff — what each one is for, and the order that actually matters. It covers:
Current Account & Debit Card
the everyday account your salary lands in, plus the overdraft mistake I see NHS colleagues make again and again that ends up costing more than a credit card ever would.
Savings Account
your first line of defence for the small, unexpected costs — and why leaving too much sitting here quietly costs you in tax once your Personal Savings Allowance runs out.
Credit Card, used properly
how everyday spending on shift can earn cashback and built-in purchase protection, without ever paying a penny in interest.
ISAs explained
the tax-free wrapper every NHS payslip should be using, and why it's one of the only places you can legally get ahead of the tax system for free.
Cash ISA
the tax-free home for your safety net, including the exact "sleep-well fund" formula for how much should sit here versus in a standard savings account.
Stocks & Shares ISA
where real long-term invested wealth gets built on an NHS salary, completely tax-free — and the full range of what you can actually invest in, from index funds to gold.
Lifetime ISA (LISA)
a 25% government top-up & invested toward a first home or retirement, and the £450,000 property-price trap that's genuinely caught MFA clients out.
Junior ISA
a way to start investing & compounding for your kids from day one tax-free, using an allowance that's completely separate from your own.
General Investment Account (GIA)
why this should be your last resort, not your first, once your ISA allowance is maxed.
Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP)
how to top up your NHS Pension investments tax-efficiently, plus the "bridging pension" trick that can let you retire years before your NHS Pension actually pays out.
NHS Pension
the most valuable benefit already sitting in your payslip — and the one number almost nobody in the NHS actually knows about their own scheme.
& much more!
Every account here is accessible to NHS staff at every income level.
This isn't about how much you earn — it's about how well you use what's already yours.
