Summary of the table's contents
The value of an Additional Programmed Activity (APA) is 10% of basic salary plus 10% of any CEA award (awarded before April 2018) up to level 9. Where an honorary consultant holds discretionary points or a local CEA above the level 9 discretionary point, the APA is capped at level 9 / Bronze level (£36,192 at April 2022 rate). Payment for an APA is therefore based on 10% basic salary plus a maximum amount of 10% of £36,192. New Local CEAs awarded from April 2018 (see the new local CEA table at the beginning of the first page) are not part of an APA uplift.
