PRACTICE 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 average pay for GPs working in Hampstead Group Practice in the last financial year was £43,699 before tax and National Insurance. This is for 4 part-time GPs, 11 salaried GPs and 1 locum GP who worked in the practice for more than six months.

NAMED ACCOUNTABLE GP

From 1 April 2015 all GP Practices are required to allocate a named, accountable GP to ALL patients. The named accountable GP will take lead responsibility for the coordination of all services required by the patient and ensure they are delivered, where required, (based on the clinical judgement of the named accountable GP).

Patients will be informed of their named accountable GP at the first appropriate interaction with the Practice.

If you wish to be told the name of your accountable GP, please ask at Reception when you are next in the Practice.

Please note: there is no need to telephone the Practice for this information.

If you have a preference as to which GP you are assigned,the Practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the request. If you would not like a named accountable GP please inform the Practice.

Having a named GP does not prevent you from seeing any other doctor in the Practice.

For patients aged 75 and over, the named accountable GP is responsible for working with relevant associated health and social care professionals to deliver a multi-disciplinary care package that meets the needs of the patient and ensuring that these patients have access to an annual health check.
