GP Net Earnings

South Molton Medical Centre

Year Ending 31.3.20

NHS Year 2019/20

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

The average pay for GPs working in South Molton Medical Centre in the last financial year was £62,459 before employees’ pension contributions, tax and national insurance. This is for 1 full time GP, 8 part time GPs, and 0 locums GP who worked in the practice for more than six 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.
