GP Earnings Policy

 

< Back to policies & procedures

NHS England require that the net earnings of doctors engaged in the practice is publicised and that the required disclosure is shown below. 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 working in the practice and should not be used for any judgement about GP earnings, nor to make comparisons with other practices.

The average pay for GPs working in Windrush Medical Practice in the last financial year was £50,992 before tax and National Insurance. This is for 17 part-time GPs and 4 locum GPs who worked in the practice for more than six months.

The mean GP net earnings calculation includes:

  • Income from NHS England, ICBs and local authorities for the provision of GP services that relate to the contract or which have been nationally determined
  • Earnings are pre-tax, national insurance and employee pension contributions
  • GP partner earnings are stated net of related practice expenses

The following are excluded from the calculation of mean GP net earnings:

  • Certain income and costs related to the premises such as notional rent and mortgage interest
  • Local Enhanced Service (LES) payments
  • Dispensing income
  • NHS Sundry income
  • Non-NHS income
  • Any employer NHS pension contributions
