Pay for doctors

Junior Doctors

Junior Doctors earn a basic salary and will usually be paid a supplement. This supplement is based on the extra hours worked above a standard working week and the intensity of the work. The most common banding supplement is 50% of basic salary. In the most Junior Hospital Doctor post (foundation year 1) a Doctor on a 50% supplement would earn £32,087. This increases in the second year (foundation year 2) to £39,798. A Doctor in specialist training on a 50% supplement could earn from £43,000 to £67,000.

Staff Grades and Associate Specialists (SAS)

Currently, staff grade Doctors earn between £32,547 and £60,968. Associate Specialist Doctors earn between £35,977 and £78,039. See www.nhsemployers.org/sas for more details.

Consultants

Consultants can earn between £71,000 to £161,000, dependent on length of service and payments of additional performance related supplements.

General practitioners

Many General Practitioners (GPs) are self employed and hold contracts, either on their own or as part of a partnership, with their Local Primary Care Trust (PCT). The profit of GPs varies according to the services they provide for their patients and the way they choose to provide these services. Most GPs would expect to earn between £80,000 and £120,000.

Salaried GPs employed directly by PCTs earn approximately £51,000 to £77,000, dependent on, among other factors, length of service and experience.
