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 at Hastings Old Town Surgery in the last financial year, ended 31 March 2018 was £65,178 before tax and national insurance. This is for 3 full-time GP’s, 1 part time GP and 2 locum GP’s who worked in the practice for more than 6 months.

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, not to make any comparison with any other practice.
