GP Earnings

All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g. average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

The required disclosure is shown below.

The mean GP Net Earnings calculation includes: 

• Income from NHS England, CCGs, and local authorities for the provision of GP services that relate to the contract, or which have been nationally determined
• Earnings are pre income 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

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.
