GP Earnings

PUBLICATION OF GP NET EARNINGS 2020-21

The average pay for GPs working in Downlands Medical Centre in the 2020-21 financial year was £86,726 before the payment of tax, national insurance, employee pension costs and practice expenses.

This is for 3 full time, 4 part time and 2 locum GPs who worked in the practice for more than 6 months.

NHS England require that the net earnings of doctors engaged in the practice is publicised and the required disclosure is shown above. However, it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earnings 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 judgement about GP earnings, nor to make any comparison with any other practice.
