Mean GP Earnings

5th April 2017 by Web Team

Mean GP earnings

NHS England require that the net earnings of doctors engaged in the practice is publicised 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 for any judgement about GP earnings, nor to make any comparisons with other practices.

The average earnings for GPs working in Oldwell Surgery in the last financial year ending in 2018/19 was £67,219 before taxation and National Insurance.

This is for 4 part time GPs who worked in the practice for more than 6 months.

CQC Visit

5th April 2017 by Web Team

The surgery was inspected by the Care Quality Commission, an independent body that inspects G.P. practices to make sure that they are safe and perform effectively.  The inspectors rated Oldwell Surgery as good in all areas and were pleased at the improvements that had been made since their previous visit.

If you have any ideas about how we can do things better or want to get involved in how the practice is run, please ask at reception about joining our Patient Participation Group

Electronic Prescribing

5th April 2017 by Web Team

A reminder that the Electronic Prescribing Service has recently been launched. This means that in most cases, rather than being given a paper prescription to take to the pharmacy, a request will go there electronically. You should still allow 48 hours for your prescription to be ready after requesting it. If you are unsure about what this might mean for you, please discuss it with the surgery or your local pharmacy.
