GP Average Earnings

Disclaimer: NHS England requires that the net earnings of doctors engaged in the practice is publicised, and 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 spend working in the practice, and should not be used to form any judgement about GP earnings, or to make any comparison with any other practice.

All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (i.e. average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice. This is required in the interests of the greater public accountability, recognising GP pay is ultimately funded from tax paid by the public.

The average pay for GPs working in the Green Valleys Health Practice in the last financial year was £23,733 before tax and National Insurance. This is for 4 full time GP’s, 6 part time GP’s and 4 locum GP’s who worked in the practice for more than six months.
