Net GP Earnings

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

The average pay for GPs working at West Somerset Healthcare in the last financial year was £55,819 before tax and national insurance. This is for 1 full-time GP, 5 part-time GPs and 2 locum GPs (who worked for the practice for more than six months).
