- Watch to see exactly how much doctors earn, but more specifically how much General Practitioners or GPs earn. GP pay is much more variable than hospital doctor pay and the sky really is your limit.
Key points to take away from the video:
Model contracts and advice from the BMA
Important to negotiate salary/fee if locum
Important to understand contract, rights and entitlements.

0:47 How much do doctors earn? Salaried GPs
Model contract for doctors earnings: annual salary set out as a minimum by the Doctors Dentists Review Body (DDRB). However, this is seen as an outdated salary. For a full-time salaried GP working 37.5 hours per week in England in 2019-20 it is: £58,808 to £88,744 (plus London weighting - extra money for those working in London due to expensive nature.) NB. there is no upper limit- so employers are able to award a higher salary.
Usually the pay is per session and ranges from £9-10,500 (multiple this figure by the number of sessions to get annual salary) and can and should be negotiated. Part time: pro rata
Recommendations from BMA: employers should pay an additional percentage increase on top of the DDRB annual uplift to avoid age discrimination.
Employers are also required to provide their salaried GPs with an annual incremental pay increase. This could be a percentage increase or a set amount which affects how much doctors or GPs earn. This is determined by the employer and employee (GP).
Doctors may also receive bonus payments for example meeting QOF (Quality and Outcome) targets.
3:11 How much do doctors earn? Locum doctors earn:
Locum GPs can work as sole traders, by joining a locum agencies or group arrangements (e.g. chambers). Locum GPs are usually self-employed and paid a fee.
For example if self employed, an invoice is sent to the practice versus agency work where they help you find work; you submit a time sheet and the agency pay you based on how much the job is advertised for. The practice will pay them (including a commission). Could be self employed or employed through the agency so read the Terms and Conditions (T&Cs).
Many GPs work as a locum OR salaried doctor and locum doctor. Your insurance can cover you for both salaried and locum work which should work out to be cheaper than locuming alone.
You can work for a GP surgery, private practice or out of hours work.
Fees are negotiable between the practice and the locum doctor. How much a doctor earn will depend on the fee, usually per hour for what they will do in return. For example workload e.g. appointments and admin.
A locum doctor earns between (roughly) - £75-100 +/- NHS pension.
5:36 How much do doctors earn? GP partners
Average full time: £100,000 (after expenses) ; range 100,000 (SW England) to 120,000 (E of England). Note that GPs earning more than 150k/year (NHS + non NHS income) will have to declare from Feb 21.
6:12 Factors for how much doctors earn: profits, being a new partner, pension.
8:33 Other things that will affect how much GPs earn or how much doctors earn: the building, how proactive the partners are, if the earnings are sustainable, the local area.
9:22 To ensure you are earning well as a doctor you want to be a part of a partnership that has these key features.

Thanks for sharing! This is a great video.
Thank you for your comment, as always! Glad you enjoyed the video!
This is really insightful! I know many doctors work really hard
Thank you! Yes, we do!
An informative video, thanks Dr!
Thank you! Glad you found it useful!
Great video! I'm sure this will be an eye opener for many.
Thanks for your comment as always! I am sure it will be!!
@@DrPBaptiste you're welcome!
Hi Dr. B. Outstanding! Much information which is indeed an insight to the pay in Medicine.
Thank you for sharing once again - attractive salary which will be very encouraging to student doctors and to those who are contemplating joining the profession.
👍👍
Thank you! A lot of hard work goes into it for the pay!
Thanks for the info doc 🙏
Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!
Looking forward to your next video 🙏👍
Thank you!
It very good information thank to Dr Baptiste
Thank you very much!!
Good video! Keep it up! Do you have a video on how to build up your GP portfolio as a medical student or as a GP trainee?
Hi! Thanks for watching and for your comment! No I don't actually but I can look into doing one if you think it will be helpful!
This is great information! It would be good to share this video to school's across the capital as this is a profession well worth considering for young people.
Yes I agree! Thanks for your comments as always. I appreciate the support!
Thank you for sharing this, very helpful. I feel training doesn't really give you much about the realities of the job, and we are not really empowered to know about finances as a doctor!
Hi! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment and provide feedback! Yes the video came about after a student asked me to talk about it! Glad it has been insightful for you!
thank you so much for this video! it's actually funny how we never know how earning works as a doctor when we're medical students
Hey no worries! It was a topic I was asked to comment on and there actually wasn't a video out there that I found! Thanks for your comment and for watching too!
Really useful video
Thank you for your comment!
Really interesting video thank you will share with a friend who is interested in becoming a GP
Thank you Godfrey!
Very good video
Thank you!!!!
Thank you very much for this video! Had a personal question (so completely understand if you decide to not answer) but how did you manage your family/dating life as a GP or even in your foundation years? (I understand that as a GP there is more free time compared to other branches in Medicine but was it still a bit difficult?)
No worries, glad you enjoyed it! It was definitely hard but I just tried to be as social as I could when not at work. I also have many non-medics around me so that helped!!
@@DrPBaptiste Thank you 💗
This is a bit off topic from the video (which I thought was really insightful btw !) but could you talk about like the rota of the junior doctor and what it was like? I know it varies depending on ur rotation but it would be cool if you showed us previous rota from when you were a junior (if you are able/willing to do that and it isn’t too personal or confidential) and maybe reflected on it etc. Just wandering as a curious medical student! Also I know the average working hours is supposed to be capped at 48 hours is that actually the case? Where you always working up to 48 average or sometimes more or less etc. I’ve also heard that you can end up having to stay a while longer than the end of your shift. Is this common and is this something you experienced? I know I’ve asked a lot of questions and if any are too personal or you would prefer not to answer I completely understand :)
Hi! Thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed the video. I speak a bit about a typical day /on calls in my video- tips for junior doctors- ua-cam.com/video/6YiXP5FZJTA/v-deo.html
If this does not help then would a video help?
Often, as a doctor you work well beyond your scheduled hours (again I talk about this in the two junior doc videos) you can claim these back but many rarely do and it depends on where you work too. You stay behind because sometimes there are just so many jobs to do/not enough staff/things cropping up during the day/sick patients. But don't worry yo will be OK and there is always someone to advise you.
Hope this helps!
I earn just shy of £400,000 per annum (£150,000 from property investments and £250,000 from my job). Unfortunately I’m not academically gifted as I have mild Aspergers and dyslexia. I don’t particularly enjoy my job any more, just wish that I the skill set to work in the medical profession.
Hi thanks for watching and for your comment! I'm sorry to hear that you don't enjoy your job. There are many doctors who have learning difficulties/disabilities so that shouldn't stop you!
Hi, just trying to understand more about GP partner pay. Do they make a salary from the GP practice, and then added to this is a cut of the profits?
Also, if a GP partner leaves a practice, would they get back the money that they initially invested to become a GP partner?
By the way, your videos are really helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to make them and share your knowledge.
Hi! Thanks again for your amazing comments and questions! The partners have to account for costs of running the practice first of course, but yes they divide the profits/drawings among themselves. I talk more about this at this point in the video - 6.32. I believe they would/should get the money they invested back when they leave/retire. You may want to check this video out too which talks more about finances for doctors - ua-cam.com/video/uI7qjh3dY4M/v-deo.html
Hope that helps! Any further questions just give me a shout!
Great video,seems like you need to be an accountant to be a GP.
Hi, thank you for your comment and for watching! Yes, it is important to be educated with regards to finances. I am sure many GPs have accountants especially to complete tax returns and forms relating to pensions which confuses many year after year!
Great vid... Could you tell me what is the salary needed to have a nice decent lifestyle in UK?
Hi! Thanks for your comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It does depend on your circumstances (mortgage, children etc) but the salary range in the video, even the lower end is seen as a good salary for most.
@@DrPBaptiste thankyou
@@siddharthparashar9004 you are very welcome!
Hi dr could you elaborate more on what a session actually means?does it consist of a certain number of hours or days?
Hi, thanks for watching!
1 session = 1 clinic = usually about 3-4 hours.
Any more questions just let me know!
also what about after all the sfe loans? thanks again great video!
Thanks! Deductions vary on a few things like how much you earn, how much of the student loan you have to pay back etc. Student loan could be £200-300/month, pension could be the same. It varies so it's difficult to give a standard answer!
Even though I used to be a doctor, I didn't know any of this!
Now you do! Thanks for your comment. Hopefully more doctors will be able to learn from this video, potentially influencing their career choices.
what do you do now?
Hi, I'm an currently doing my internship in my home country and I have a question if you can answer. Unfortunately we have 2 months of surgery rotation so it won't be enough to bypass FY1 year. But I am planning to start emergency medicine residency here, after 2 years I'll complete PLABs. Could this 2 years of EM residency bring me a chance of by passing FY1, or will it still be required ? Thanks in advance.

Dr.P. Baptiste, could you tell me what jobs have normal working hours (9-5), or jobs where u can control ur working hours in medicine pls
Hi! Thanks for watching and for your comment! GP is an option you can adjust your clinic times depending on where you work, you can also work as a remote GP too. Other examples would be occupational and pharmaceutical medicine. You could also work as a functional medical assessor too! Remember you can also work part time.
Hope that gives you some ideas. Any more questions just let me know!
hey sorry i have a couple questions
what is locum?
and how much realistically would a newly qualified gp make?
Hi! Thanks for watching! Check this video out for the types of GPs/how you can work as a GP - ua-cam.com/video/7mVK4nd_qZk/v-deo.html
As mentioned in the video it varies as a GP, whether newly qualified or not your pay depends on how much you get paid per session and how many sessions you do. You can also negotiate your salary too! Hope that helps!
Do GPs with special interest earn the same as the specialist in that particular area? I'm talking for example about the price of an EKG or Dermatological intervention. Are they lower for GPs?
Hi, thanks for watching! It's very variable. There are many GPs earning more than some consultants. Consultant specialists can earn significant amounts though in the private sector. An initial consultation can be several hundred pounds with a consultant specialist. But remember GPs can also work privately and set their own rates.
You may want to check out my video with Dr. Pyal Patel who gives a range of what can be earnt as a GPwSI in dermatology.
@@DrPBaptiste thank youuu so much!
@@dr.ramone6466 you're welcome! Are there any videos you'd like to see next?
@@DrPBaptiste Maybe more videos with GPs with different special interests. I'm intrerested in what they do, how they get there, if they are happy with their choises, how long was the training for every special interests and what are the limits of procedures and knowledge
How much experience would be required to be a GP on a rate of £10,000/session?
Also, if a GP is on that rate, can they work 13 sessions a week for the whole year and be paid £130,000?
Hi! Thanks for watching and for your comment. Most GP surgeries are open mon-fri with a half day in the week. So some GPs do work 9-10 sessions. There are many ways you can work over the weekend such as remotely, in the private sector and urgent care. So it is possible to work the whole week but this is quite demanding!!
The rate per session does depend on a few things, experience and expertise does count but sometimes the practice will have a set amount they offer. It also depends if you work the weekend (usually more in some places) and location. Hope this helps! Check out my 'multiple streams of income' video too!
Hi! I have a question I am still in year 7 but when I am older I am thinking of becoming a GP but I am worried about the money, how much can I earn from it? And do you have to do things like surgeries and etc because I don’t like blood! X
Hello! Thanks for watching!
The video details roughly how much you could earn (right at the start) but it does vary depending on how many hours you work and when you work for example. You have to do a variety of things in your training which does include taking blood from patients and assisting in operations. Hope that helps!
@@DrPBaptiste thank you
@@rabeeahsvideos8044 No worries!
Please how much do you make per month or annually during the 3years of GP training
Hi! It does vary but I would say somewhere around 40-50k annually. Hope that helps!
Okay thank you 🙏🏾
I hope viewers don't actually mix up wealth and income.
To become rich: save and invest as much as possible from your income
Could u please comment on the golden handshake?
Hi, thanks for watching! Are you referring to this: www.gponline.com/20000-golden-hello-scheme-new-gp-partners-opens-1-july/article/1688092
If you are then its about recruitment and retention of doctors. I talk briefly about the flexible pay premia this Friday which is a payment given to trainees on 'hard to fill' training programmes. Hope this helps!
@@DrPBaptiste Thanks 🙏
@@Amal-oz1hz you're welcome!
Do partner gp doctors take profits besides their main salary ? I heard some gp doctors get paid per patient, can you explain what type of medical job pays you as a gp per patient
Hi! Thanks for watching and for your comment! As detailed in the video gp partners do have access to the profits and share this out among the partners/reinvest in the practice. If you work in the private sector then you might charge for a consultation and any tests that the patient may need. As a Locum you can charge per hour and same places do charge per patient/consultation. Hope that helps!
@@DrPBaptiste can a partner gp also charge for patients (unscheduled appointments) ?
@@user-cc4kq6hl4c hi again! GPs can do private work, which they can charge for. If you want to know more about this check out my video on the private sector - ua-cam.com/video/3OEk5MgFIIQ/v-deo.html Hope that helps?
Can you say doing GP training is equivalent to which rank of doctor........ A simple graduate... A post graduateor something else.....?
And how much does a GP trainee earn in UK initialy ? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hello thanks for watching and for your comment! That is a great question! As a GP trainee (or Gp registrar) you are probably equivalent to a SHO or senior house officer or core medical trainee. So not hospital registrar level. I have a video which discusses doctor pay -

@@Debasish_Phukan_ You are very welcome!!
I m sorry.. l have some questions... one gp consultant have get registrations max patients ? NHS how much money get paid one patient and gp take money for medical examination if one patient have insurance goverment insurance ?
2nd question ; how much money earn one gp consultant just documents ? For ex. Life insurance and driving licence like that.. how many patients can come for taking this documents?
I ask general one gp can earn salary from NHS and take patient for med exam, take money for documents...
What do registrars earn during training?
Hi thanks for your comment it does vary based on area but probably around 40k upwards
Can NHS gp also work as locum gp in freetime
Hello, thanks for watching and for you comment. Yes they can!
Best Video You deserve more views, ! We should collab.
Thank you for your comment!
So if you work 1 session per day. If it pays £10,000 per session. Does it mean that everyday you can earn £10,000
Ahh no you basically multiply the pay per session by the number of sessions per week and this will give you the ANNUAL salary. For example 10k/session x 5 sessions is 50k/year. You can work out pay per day from this. Hope this helps!
As Dr B said above, basically if you work half a day a week, every week, you end up with £10k at the end of the year.
@@doodzy2 10k per halfday- that's 600kpermonth
@@18Ramhmm no! Session is half a day, a full time GP roughly works 4 days a week ( 8 x sessions) . So the annual salary would be 8X 10,000= 80,000 a year

Hi,
I'm James John from Liverpool. I run a small IT company based there. I'm doing some outsourcing jobs currently and am looking for some GP admin job outsourcing. Do you know any GPs? If so, please introduce me to them.
Thanks,
James.
Hello, please send any enquiries to contact@drpatricebaptiste.co.uk
It’s all about the Benjamins 🤑
Lol
I'm sorry but this is confusing
1 session is 3-4 hours of work
You said £10,000 per session
If you do 4 sessions a week thats £40,000 a week?
So then you say it's 90,000 a year - if youre making 40,000 a week you'd make almost million a year?!
Hi, thanks for watching and for your comment! If you do 4 sessions at a rate of 10K per session it is 40k per annum. Hope that helps!
