All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

The calculation excludes certain types of income and the rules are complex and open to interpretation. 

Full time GPs are defined in the guidance as working eight sessions or more. The number of GPs includes salaried GPs and locums who worked full or part time for 6 months or more.

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, nor to make any comparison with any other practice.

The average pay for GPs working in Whittaker Lane Medical Centre in the last financial year was £48,885 before tax and National Insurance. This is for 2 full time GPs, 7 part time GPs, and 0 locum GPs who worked in the practice for more than six months.
