GP net earnings

Posted on August 12th, 2019

NHS England require that the net earnings of doctors at the practice is publicised as shown below. However it should be noted that the method of calculating earnings is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice or at home (which can amount to very long hours), and should not be used to form any judgement about GP earnings, nor to make any comparison with any other practice. It should be noted that GPs (and other doctors) have to pay fees to professional bodies and for insurance which can amount to thousands of pounds. The required declaration follows:

All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g. average pay) for GP’s working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

The average pay for GP’s working at Great North Medical Group in 2017/18 was £????? before tax and National Insurance. This is for 4 full time GPs & 3 part time GP’s.
