GP Earnings 2022/2023

NHS England requires that the net earnings of doctors engaged in the practice is publicised on their practice website by 31 March 2024, and the required disclosure is shown below. 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 make any comparison with any other practice.

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

The average pay for GPs working in Darton Health Centre in the last financial year 2022/23 was £161392 before Tax and National Insurance. This is for 1 full time GP who worked in the practice for more than six months.”

Contacting the surgery about appointments etc

Please note that if you need to contact the surgery urgently about cancelling an appointment etc, you need to ring or call into the surgery.  Do no use the contact us facility for this as this is not monitored all the time and you might be waiting a few days for a reply and your appointment may not be cancelled in time.    Thank you

Risk Profiling and Care Management

Risk Profiling and Care Management

Privacy notice

Risk profiling is a new NHS service that will help your GP spot whether you might need early treatment or care.

Your health information will be profiled in a local NHS data warehouse and the results will be seen only by your GP and health care professionals involved in your care pathway.

NHS security systems will protect the information from beginning to end.

If you have any other concerns about the use of your information, please contact Jane Jones, Practice Manager on the telephone number given above or on the contact us section of this website. Alternatively you can leave your name with the reception staff and we will contact you. We do have processes in place which mean that your medical records can be excluded from the Risk Profiling and Care Management Service.

Thank you

Dr Gerald Eko
