Found this on the RCN site http://www.rcn.org.uk/members/direct...+as+a+nurse+in
NHS Pension Scheme - Superannuation
Nurses in the NHS pension scheme who leave the service may have their pension benefits 'frozen'. If you are moving to a new non NHS employer, whether in the UK or abroad you should seek independent advice as to whether you are able to 'transfer' your membership into your new employer’s scheme.
It is advisable to contact the NHS Pensions Agency for further details about the options available. Individual enquiries should be made to:

However Kiwi saver has just been launched here and employers will contribute 2% towards that so I am about to seek further advice!!!!
Let me know if you find out anything different. I have spoken to work and income and they told me I can claim my susuperannuationrom the UK at 60.
