GP earnings

All GP practices are required to declare the mean (average) earnings for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice. The average pay for GPs working in Farnworth Family Practice in the last financial year was £73,097 before tax and National Insurance. This is for 1 full time GPs, 2 Part time GPs and 1 locum GPs who worked at the practice for more than 6 months.

However, it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earning is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice, and should not be used to form any judgment about GP earnings, nor to make any comparison with any other practice.
