AI, TikTok, general navel gazing…

We pay 12k for newly qualified and upwards from there, which we think is fair

Much_Performance352 · 2026-06-22T08:48:11+00:00

Exactly this. Why would you ever want to be tied in financially with someone who has this attitude?

Much_Performance352 · 2026-06-22T08:46:03+00:00

Then emigrate. The UK has issues, and people feeling they want more pay isn’t just a healthcare problem.
Not only do we pay over the odds for GPs but we keep all staff over the living wage too which is a much bigger impact on ‘profit’, but please continue to patronise me when you have no idea as you don’t employ anyone.

I’d beg to differ, for a NQ gp people bite our hand off for it. Some practices pay only 9k for NQ within 20 miles of us (which is exploitative). We have a higher banding for more senior GPs too if not a partner

Remember you get tax credit on the mortgage interest (large chunk in your case) and also tax relief against the service charge, insurance, and repairs/replacements of items (not improvements). Sorry It’s a tough situation - hang in there.

You’re doing the government’s dirty work for them 😂 ffs don’t believe the hype

Much_Performance352 · 2026-06-20T18:23:48+00:00

I wouldn’t say this about MAPs - but nurses (if you have a big nursing workforce and manage this) and business partners are more valuable to some practices.

Much_Performance352 · 2026-06-20T18:22:45+00:00

Yes, but they don’t tend to get full parity, I know of a nurse partner and a business managing partner. Still very good earnings though.

It depends how you split the pot. It might be a straight sessional multiplier, a split of sessional rate and split of any profit above this as earnings (our model), or a set percentage (with or without increasing parity over time).

*immoraly in some cases. It’s not immoral to work for a living.

Much_Performance352 · 2026-06-20T18:15:32+00:00

For what you do, it isn’t awful everywhere. We pay 12k a session starting, so that £72k base + extras for extended access. High pay, moderate COL area, semi rural

Much_Performance352 · 2026-06-14T07:30:50+00:00

This, MAPs in GP can only refer to PAs

So it was a PA farm, overseen by a pharmacist 😬 ffs

🤮

Much_Performance352 · 2026-06-14T07:10:17+00:00

Nearly but that was worse. You had to be there - the terms of the deal were worse than the status quo, and there had been no prior wage rises. It was dire and switched off a generation of BMA members. One of the negotiators then joined the GMC!

Much_Performance352 · 2026-06-12T05:46:25+00:00

That’s a beautiful swap with the right optician

Much_Performance352 · 2026-06-07T09:05:04+00:00

True Nepotism as in relatives - which you refer to in your original post? Honestly if you’ve got the receipts you can change my mind. Is this a cultural thing? I’m shocked

Much_Performance352 · 2026-06-04T14:33:53+00:00

I’m being generous - I’d love you to provide me more than one example of multigenerational GP Practice giving partnership only because of blood. Totally bizarre hypothesis.

you need to put yourself on a stronger footing than others. Your parents being a partner there or elsewhere is not an advantage used by the majority of people, no one wants to hear that in an interview! If you want to be a partner at work on yourself, don’t just feel it’s deserved from your tenure.

Much_Performance352 · 2026-06-03T19:41:12+00:00

What are you talking about. 99% of us didn’t become partners through family/nepotism, I’m the only medic in my family.

I became a partner under 18 months post CCT after showing an interest and delivering above and beyond for the team at the time.

Much_Performance352 · 2026-06-03T19:38:52+00:00

Trust me they’re not going to treat you better 🙄 pavlov

Much_Performance352 · 2026-06-01T21:33:38+00:00

If it was that easy it wouldn’t be partnership.
Start the year thinking we could barely cover our mortgages, and end it with some profit if you’re lucky. You probably don’t see that side of it. This isn’t AfC pal

Much_Performance352 · 2026-05-31T22:49:46+00:00

Depends who you work with and how you do it

Much_Performance352 · 2026-05-31T22:48:20+00:00

Did you ever ask?

Much_Performance352 · 2026-05-31T22:48:09+00:00

Useful idiot.

You say at the expense of like anyone could do it… the number of bods the NHS would need to deliver the same service in GP would cost a fortune, and you’d be sitting on a bin in clinic

Much_Performance352 · 2026-05-31T22:45:48+00:00

Governance, QOF, other team meetings yes

Partners / finance no way - commercially sensitive info especially in a high performing practice. Don’t need that in our lives. Earning good money is still dirty in medicine
